    Sahakarmaharshi Bhausaheb Thorat Sahakari Rating Sakhar Karkhana Limited (SBT) Rationale June 02, 2014 Proposed Facility Amount (Rs. Crore) Rating Term Loan 131.29 SMERA BB-/Stable (Assigned) SMERA has assigned a rating of ‘SMERA BB-’ (read as SMERA double B minus) to the Rs.131.29 crore proposed bank facility of Sahakarmaharshi Bhausaheb Thorat Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited (SBT). The outlook is ‘ Stable’ . The rating is supported by the society’s long track record of operations and comfortable profit margins. The rating is also supported by the proximity of the society’s manufacturing unit to raw material sourcing areas. The rating factors in the potential benefits the society is likely to derive from the co-generation power plant. However, the rating is constrained by the society’s moderate operating scale, working capital-intensive operations and high gearing (debt-to-equity ratio). The rating is also constrained by the society’s presence in a highly regulated sugar industry. The rating factors in risks associated with the proposed modernization and expansion of the society’s existing sugarcane crushing capacity. SBT, established in 1966, is a Maharashtra-based co-operative society engaged in manufacturing of sugar. SBT’s operations have been profitable during the last seven years despite the inherent cyclicality in the sugar industry. The society reported comfortable net profit margin of 5.75 per cent in FY2012–13 (refers to financial year April 01 to March 31). Further, SBT has access to ample supply of raw material as the society’s factory unit is in proximity to sugarcane growing regions (Ahmednagar and Nasik) in Maharashtra.

  • Seeking the State from the Margins: from Tidung Lands to Borderlands in Borneo
    Seeking the state from the margins From Tidung Lands to borderlands in Borneo Nathan Bond ORCID ID: 0000-0002-8094-9173 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. December 2020 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne i Abstract Scholarship on the geographic margins of the state has long suggested that life in such spaces threatens national state-building by transgressing state order. Recently, however, scholars have begun to nuance this view by exploring how marginal peoples often embrace the nation and the state. In this thesis, I bridge these two approaches by exploring how borderland peoples, as exemplars of marginal peoples, seek the state from the margins. I explore this issue by presenting the first extended ethnography of the cross-border ethnic Tidung and neighbouring peoples in the Tidung Lands of northeast Borneo, complementing long-term fieldwork with research in Dutch and British archives. This region, lying at the interstices of Indonesian Kalimantan, Malaysian Sabah and the Southern Philippines, is an ideal site from which to study borderland dynamics and how people have come to seek the state. I analyse understandings of the state, and practical consequences of those understandings in the lives and thought of people in the Tidung Lands. I argue that people who imagine themselves as occupying a marginal place in the national order of things often seek to deepen, rather than resist, relations with the nation-states to which they are marginal. The core contribution of the thesis consists in drawing empirical and theoretical attention to the under-researched issue of seeking the state and thereby encouraging further inquiry into this issue.
