Dynamics of Financial Inclusion in India
Get PDF“Financial inclusion helps revitalize people out of poverty and can help speed economic development. It can draw more women into the mainstream of economic activity, harnessing their contributions to the society. Indhrawathi Sri Mulyani according to the Indonesian Finance Minister, a former World Bank Group head.The National Bureau of Economic Research claims that “12.4% of those in the top quartile of financial knowledge relied on books and newspapers as their primary source of financial knowledge, compared to only 3.9% for those in the lowest quartile of financial competence”. Growth that is inclusive can only occur via appropriate mechanisms that channel all their sources from top to bottom with innumerable sources from the economy.
Given that India has the largest rural population in the world, financial inclusion is a novel idea that uses creative methods to encourage rural residents to open bank accounts. The goal of financial inclusion is to offer banking and financial services to the whole population at a reasonable cost in a fair, transparent, and equitable manner. However, low-income households frequently do not have access to bank accounts and must pay for numerous visits and time to obtain banking services, such as opening a savings account or obtaining a loan. As a result, these families find it more challenging to save money and make long-term financial plans. The concept of financial inclusion, its evolution, IFI, needs, benefits, customer engagement strategies, initiatives, expansion and modes of financial inclusion like ATMs branch openings, loan utilization, mobile transactions, etc. are all insisted upon in this comprehensive study. An attempt is made to address the general topic of financial inclusion in India in this paper
From Accusation to Prison and Death: A Study of Ernest James Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying
Get PDFThrough this exploration, one discovers that the issue of racial conflicts between Blacks and Whites in the United States is still evident in Ernest James Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying. For, the author’s portrayal of black characters in general as victims of rejection and of Jefferson in particular as victim of accusationbecause of his blackness in this great nation, recalls the racist atmosphere that prevailed in American society during the colonial era. His account for this black male character who is killed mercilessly by his white peers for an uncommitted crime,appears as a way for him to inform the reader about the plight of all black Americans in this “so-called democratic nation” which rejects its own citizens on behalf of racial belonging. This act of murder endured by this black character attests of the white man’s eagerness to create an America deprived of black citizens
Relationship between Purpose in Life and Psychological Distress among Older Adults
Get PDFThe study investigates the relationship between psychological distress and purpose in life among older adults, along with gender differences in these variables. The sample consists of 80 older adults aged 65 to 79 years, selected from various parts of Kerala, primarily Palakkad, using a purposive sampling method to ensure equal representation of genders and minimize bias. The participants include 40 males and 40 females. Results reveal a significant negative correlation between purpose in life and psychological distress, indicating that higher purpose in life is associated with lower psychological distress. Furthermore, a t-test analysis shows no significant gender difference in purpose in life, suggesting similar perceptions of life purpose among male and female participants. However, a significant gender difference is observed in psychological well-being with females reporting higher levels of distress than males. These findings highlight the protective role of purpose in life against psychological distress and the need for gender-sensitive interventions to support older adults\u27 mental well-being

Evaluation of role of trace elements in oral submucous fibrosis patients.
Get PDFBackground: This study was conducted to assess the role of trace elements in oral submucous fibrosis patients.
Material and methods: The study sample comprised 150 participants, with 100 individuals diagnosed with OSMF being the cases group and 50 persons as the control group. Histopathological investigation revealed the presence of OSMF in all of the cases. The blood samples were collected from a total of 150 individuals and were then analysed using a digital autoanalyzer photometer. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the serum levels of copper using the colorimetric method. Statistical analysis was used to compare the results obtained for both cases and controls.
Results: It was observed that the concentrations of copper were reduced in the control group and raised in study group.
Conclusion: The gold standard for diagnosing Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is biopsy; however, this approach is invasive and time-consuming. Currently, numerous contemporary advancements are employed to facilitate the early detection of OSMF and mitigate its development towards advanced and reversible phases. Trace elements have the potential to function as prognostic and diagnostic markers for patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF)
