    Eco-hydrology and Chemical Pollution of Western Ghats Dr.Mathew Koshy M..Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D. Reader and Research Guide in Chemistry, Bishop Moore College, Mavelikara.Kerala Eco-hydrology Eco-hydrology is a new integrative science that involves finding solutions to issues surrounding water, people, and the environment. One of the fundamental concepts involved in eco-hydrology is that the timing and availability of freshwater is intimately linked to ecosystem processes, and the goods and services provided by fresh waters to societies. This means that emphasis is placed on the hydrological cycle and its effects on ecological processes and human well-being. Limnology Limnology is the science that deals with the physical, chemical and biological properties and features of fresh waters. A professional who studies fresh water systems is a limnologist. Lotic System: The lotic environment is consisting of all inland waters in which entire water body continually flows in a definite direction. etc. rivers streams. Lentic system: The lentic environment has been including all inland waters in which water has been not continually flowing in a definite direction. Standing waters Western Ghats The Western Ghats hill range extends along the west coast of India, covering an area of 160,000 square kilometers. The presence of these hills creates major precipitation gradients that strongly influence regional climate, hydrology and the distribution of vegetation types and endemic plants. Biodiversity Although the total area is less than 6 percent of the land area of India, the Western Ghats contains more than 30 percent of all plant, fish, fauna, bird, and mammal species found in India.

In 1937 it was established at Madras (Chennai) and at birth itself like the mythical 'Hanuman', it jumped across the Indian borders and started functioning in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). Its founding father, M. Ct. M. Chidambaram Chettyar was the youngest banking genius barely under the thirties. Banking was in his genes. Normally banks in India at initial stages had the modest objective of serving the locals; but, IOB spread its wings in international markets. Again, IOB went in for partial privatization through public usually, Indian banks, as and when they ventured offering in September 2000. Imaginative title for this abroad, they turned to the West but IOB couriered to event viz. "IOB enters Dalal Street" speaks volumes the East.

  • Do Bank Mergers, a Panacea for Indian Banking Ailment - an Empirical Study of World’S Experience
    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 21, Issue 10. Series. V (October. 2019), PP 01-08 www.iosrjournals.org Do Bank Mergers, A Panacea For Indian Banking Ailment - An Empirical Study Of World’s Experience G.V.L.Narasamamba Corresponding Author: G.V.L.Narasamamba ABSTRACT: In the changed scenario of world, with globalization, the need for strong financial systems in different countries, to compete with their global partners successfully, has become the need of the hour. It’s not an exception for India also. A strong financial system is possible for a country with its strong banking system only. But unfortunately the banking systems of many emerging economies are fragmented in terms of the number and size of institutions, ownership patterns, competitiveness, use of modern technology, and other structural features. Most of the Asian Banks are family owned whereas in Latin America and Central Europe, banks were historically owned by the government. Some commercial banks in emerging economies are at the cutting edge of technology and financial innovation, but many are struggling with management of credit and liquidity risks. Banking crises in many countries have weakened the financial systems. In this context, the natural alternative emerged was to improve the structure and efficiency of the banking industry through consolidation and mergers among other financial sector reforms. In India improvement of operational and distribution efficiency of commercial banks has always been an issue for discussion for the Indian policy makers. Government of India in consultation with RBI has, over the years, appointed several committees to suggest structural changes towards this objective.
