Cmdrfdonation.Pdf Reminiscences on implementation from the war-room – The donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund i FOREWORD The Chief Ministers Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) is a unique e-governance application developed by Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) as a part of the Chief Ministers Office (CMO) Suite. This is eventually envisaged as an integrated monitoring and decision support tool for innovative policy interventions. The donation portal was developed a sequel to the CMO suite in the context of the August’18 natural calamity and has contributed substantively to the efforts towards rebuilding Kerala. The effort was unique in that it could bring together several partner banks, partner technology companies, start-ups, and individuals many of whom worked pro-bono. The solution had withstood tough weather and has shown its metal. I am happy that the endeavour has been systematically documented so that the product could be evaluated and further improved.

    International Journal of Research in Management, Economics & Commerce (Impact Factor: 4.604, ISSN 2250-057X, Volume 5 Issue 3, March 2015) Website: www.indusedu.org LENDING POLICIES OF DINDIGUL DISTRICT CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE BANK LIMITED IN TAMILNADU, INDIA - A VIEW N. Selvaraj Assistant Professor of Commerce, Saraswathi Narayanan College, Madurai, Tamilnadu, India ABSTRACT Agriculture occupies a dominant position in the Indian economy. The well being of the people of India largely depends on the progress of agriculture. The co-operative credit has been recognised as the hope of the farmers to provide the basis of prosperity and the opportunity to meet the demand for funds. In the absence of adequate financial help, the farmers and agricultural labours are the ready victims of money lenders and indigenous bankers who charge exorbitant rates of interest. The Co-operative Banks are institutions established with the objectives to facilitate rural credit and to promote thrift and self help among the economically weaker sections of the society. So it is suggested to utilize the resources in more effective manner and also have a continuous profit planning to increase its profitability. To reduce overdues a large number of field staff is to be engaged for collection of dues. Keyword: co-operative credit, overdue, Co-efficient of variation, Co-operative Banks and lending.
