But still it has long way to go and meet challenges ahead such as communication, resources, and availability at right time at right place. The web has had an amaz- ing existence and it has been the driving force for a cause to grow information across boundaries, enabling effective communication and 24x7 service availability all leading to a digital information based economy that we have today. Despite that, its direct influence has reached to a small percentage of human popula- tion. Since localization populated with India and the applications are translated and adapted for Indian us- ers.

The very first Bank-financed project, the Damodar Valley Project, approved in 1954, was inspired by the TVA model, and aimed at building water infrastructure and institutions which would provide a springboard for economic growth and poverty reduction in a poor region. From the Bank’s perceptive this was (and would be today) an ideal project – it was a vehicle for bringing the best ideas from other countries and adapting them to India; it was a combination of infrastructure and institutional developments. There were very clear benefits. The project did finance infrastructure which has provided power, flood protection and irrigation services to the region. And the project was instrumental in the formation of the Damodar Valley Corporation in the 1950s. But there were failures, too. The DVC turned out to be quite different from the TVA, with states clawing back major activities and the DVC ending up as basically a power generation company with little responsibility for water management192. And there was no demonstration effect, with no other river basin organizations following the DVC model. (In fact not a single river basin authority has been established under the 1956 River Boards Act.) In many ways the Damodar Valley Project presaged half a century of Bank experience with water development and management in India, an experience in which the defining quality is the contrast between lofty aspirations and modest achievements.

A systematic exploration of western feminism & feministic theories underlines seven types of feminist thought that had also some impact on the women of emerging countries like India. These are: Liberal, Marxist, Socialist, Radical, Psychoanalytical, Existential and Post-modem feminism. It also brings out various socio- political, historical and economic factors that led to the emergence of new woman in 19th century.
