It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

Of these 2,000 million, nearly 800 million are caught up in what can only be termed absolute poverty-a condition of life so limited as to prevent realiza- tion of the potential of the genes with which they were born; a condition of life so degrading as to be an insult to human dignity.

  • Regional Rural Banks
    Sources of Agricultural Loans in India Agricultural credit in India is available to farmers and other people working in the farming sector in India from various sources. Short and medium term agricultural credit requirements of farmers and others employed in the agricultural sector in India are usually met by the government, money lenders, and co-operative credit societies. Farmers with long-term loan requirements, such as a long-term agri loan or a loan for agri land purchase, can avail of loans from land development banks, the Indian government, and money lenders. The National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD) provides long- term and short-term credit to service the needs of Indian farmers at highly competitive interest rates. The sources of agricultural finance in India can be classified into two main categories, i.e., institutional and non-institutional sources. Non-institutional sources, constitute around 40 percent of total credit availed by farmers in India. The interest rate of the non-institutional agri loans is usually very high, although the land or other assets are kept as collateral in the secured loans. include entities like relatives, landlords, traders, commission agents, and money lenders. On the other hand, institutional sources include entities such as co-operatives, NABARD, and commercial banks like the RBI and SBI Group. In the following section, the various institutional sources of agriculture business loan or agriculture loan are discussed briefly. Institutional sources The key goal of institutional credit is to enable farmers to increase their agricultural productivity and, as a consequence, their income. Institutional credit doesn’t employ exploitative practices.

    Carta abierta de los galardonados de Premio Ambiental Goldman a los gobiernos en la ocasión de la Cumbre de la Tierra 2012 Somos los recipientes del Premio Ambiental Goldman. Nos han amenazado. Nos han torturado. Nos han capturado. Hemos muerto por los tóxicos industriales en nuestra sangre. Nos han matado. Somos los recipientes del Premio Ambiental Goldman. Somos de 81 países. Somos activistas locales. Somos embajadores nacionales. Somos pueblos indígenas. Somos ministros del medioambiente. Somos mujeres. Somos hombres. Somos ancianos. Somos jóvenes. Por más de dos décadas el Premio Goldman nos ha honrado, por los grandes riesgos que hemos tomado para proteger el medioambiente. Ahora les pedimos a ustedes arriesgarse. Es su deber participar en la "Cumbre de la Tierra" en Rio de Janeiro y conducirnos a la acción en defensa de la biodiversidad. La Cumbre de la Tierra nos presenta una oportunidad profunda para fortalecer nuestro compromiso global por la protección del planeta, el cual fue reconocido hace 20 años en la histórica "Cumbre de la Tierra Río‐1992". Desde entonces, los pueblos del Mundo han preservado especies en peligro de extinción, conservado territorios frágiles, y desarrollado alternativas para algunos de nuestras practicas más destructivas. Repetidas veces las comunidades han ganado grandes batallas. Pero es la sociedad civil quien esta liderando las acciones de conservación, con gente como nosotros poniendo nuestras vidas y bienestar en peligro por el hecho de proteger el medioambiente. Ahora, urgentemente, les rogamos tomar el liderazgo para proteger el planeta que compartimos, para bien de las futuras generaciones, les impulsamos participar en la Cumbre de la Tierra para hacer compromisos serios hacia el desarrollo sustentable.

  • Rapporteur's Report on Institutional Framework for Agricultural Development
    Ind. in. ofAgri. Econ. Vol. 53, No. 3, July-Sept. 1998 Rapporteur's Report on Institutional Framework for Agricultural Development Rapporteur: Vasant P. Gandhi* "There is an intimate connection between the institutions and technology employed,(and) the efficiency ofa market(economy) is directly shaped by the institutionalframework." Douglass C. North (1997) Winner of Nobel Prize for Economics, 1993. INTRODUCTION It is indeed highly opportune that the Indian Society of Agricultural Economics has selected the theme of institutional framework for discussion in this Conference. Worldwide, there has been a great revival of interest in institutions and their role in economic devel- opment. The old institutionalist thinking lead by Thorstein Veblen, John R. Commons and Karl Marx, among others, apparently lost its appeal in the discipline of economics with the advent of neo-classical economics. However, the inability of the neo-classical theories and models to adequately explain the uneven growth across nations, also within nations his- torically over time, as well as the recent experiences of economic reforms in different countries including Russia, India and South-East Asia, has led to a revival of interest in the role of institutions. This has led to the emergence of new institutional economic thought (Rutherford, 1994). The school is lead by the work of economists and economic historians such as Douglass North,Robert W.Fogel, Ronald Coase and Oliver E. Williamson,amongst others. While there are many similarities between the old and the new institutionalist thinking, one of the major differences is the ability of the new institutionalists to bring institutions within the frame of accepted economic theories.
