Agriculture remains the mainstay of Indian economy. The major contribution for the Indian agriculture is supported by the marginal and small farmers. Agriculture is most important for the sustainable development. Until 1935, the major sources of funds for the farmers were the professional money lenders. Due to their unduly high rate of interest, farmers were heavily burdened with debts, which lead to the riots and even miserable suicides. Later, Government of India has undertaken those issues and established agricultural credit policy through various institutional agencies.

Access to credit is considered vital for small business survival. Many small-business owners in the United States indicate that one major obstacle to entry or expansion of their small business is the availability of sufficient intermediate and long-term capital to support their working capital and fixed-assets requirements. Relying on small business lending data from 2003 to 2009 collected under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), the paper examines small and medium-sized enterprise access to credit in the United States and makes policy and research recommendations.

A detailed empirical study of how small business owners finance their enterprises, this volume compares the experiences of women with those of men. The author redresses an over-reliance on subjective and anecdotal evidence of discrimination in this area with a controlled study of forty matched pairs of male/female owners, and their strategies for raising finances. The book finds considerable similarities between female and male entrepreneurs in the type and amount of finance used in the business.

A banking entity may generally organize or offer a covered fund if, among other things, it (i) owns not more than 3% of the total ownership interests in any single fund within one year after establishment; 46 and (ii) invests an aggregate amount not exceeding 3% of the banking entity’s Tier 1 capital (i.e., the bank’s regulatory capital) in covered funds as a whole. 47 There is an exception to the 3% rule to allow the banking entity to make a seed investment in a fund (in which case it can own 100% of the fund), 48 provided that within one year of...

Thus problems can occur if faulty performance is partly due to conditions arising which are not covered by the promoter’s specification. Where a DBO contract is let on the basis that the contractor also finances the project, associating with a bank for the provision of the necessary funds, the operating period may then be long term, for 15–20 years or more. This is typically a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) project, described in Section 1.7. The risks on the contractor are then increased since they include a substantial dependency on the terms of the income he is to receive.

Based on past WPI inflation data, we see that every time the real rate turned positive, the regulator reduced the SB rate 1 , never to take corrective action (in terms of increasing the SB rate) even on subsequent high negative real rates. Chart 1 provides this picture in very clear terms. From 2003 to 2009 the real rates on SB accounts remained at historically low levels and persisted there for six years. Barring the transitory reversal in end 2009, this high negative real rate continues to pinch the small savers till date. One can clearly see that at least during April...

Village banks may start out small, with only 15 or 20 members. But in order to be profitable and active a village bank should grow to around 20 to 35 members. More members mean more savings and more people using the group fund for their businesses. That means more women benefiting, more profits for the village bank and bigger dividends for the members. The village bank is not just a comfortable place where a few friends save and sometimes take a loan. It is an institution that can serve many women in the community. There will always be new...

A growing trend in transnational social movements is the joint efforts of migrants to maintain and foster links with their places of origin through the creation and organization of ‘hometown associations’ (HTAs). HTAs are established not only in response to the social and cultural challenges faced by new immigrants in adjusting to life in a foreign country, but also to fund small-scale development projects in home communities through collective remittances.

However, it must be kept in mind that HTAs are only one of several options through which diasporas maintain links with and help their communities of origin. Immigrant entrepreneurs are also ‘social actors’, who participate actively in transnational activities.

The second future path for social funds is as special-purpose vehicles, providing selective seed capital to foster innovations in community de- velopment, to experiment with new technologies, and to act as the government’s agent in remote areas and for very small-scale activities. Even though many of the social funds might already characterize them- selves as special-purpose vehicles, they have gotten much broader.
