  • Reserve Bank of India (RBI): All You Need to Know About
    ambitiousbaba.com Online Test Series Reserve Bank of India (RBI): All you need to know about History of RBI The Reserve Bank of India was established following the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934. Though privately owned initially, it was nationalised in 1949 and since then fully owned by Government of India (GoI). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is India’s central banking institution, which controls the issuance and supply of the Indian rupee. Until the Monetary Policy Committee was established in 2016, it also controlled monetary policy in India. It commenced its operations on 1 April 1935 in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The original share capital was divided into shares of 100 each fully paid, which were initially owned entirely by private shareholders. Following India’s independence on 15 August 1947, the RBI was nationalised on 1 January 1949. Prior to the establishment of the Reserve Bank, the Indian financial system was totally inadequate dual control of currency by the Central Government and of credit by the Imperial Bank of India. The Hilton-Young Commission, therefore ended by setting-up of a central bank — called the Reserve Bank of India — which would regulate the financial policy and develop banking facilities throughout the country. Hence, the Reserve Bank of India was established with this primary object in view. One Governor: it is the highest authority of RBI. He is appointed by the Government of India for a term of 5 years. He can be re-appointed for another term. Four Deputy Governors: Four deputy Governors are nominated by Central Govt.

  • Political Economy of Central Banking in India Partha Ray / Preliminary Draft / November 17, 2014
    Political Economy of Central Banking in India Partha Ray / Preliminary Draft / November 17, 2014 Political Economy of Central Banking in India1 Partha Ray2 1. Introduction Apart from matters of detail, can the political economy of an economic institution be captured in terms of the political economy of the aggregate economy? If the Indian economic policy configuration gets dictated by a confluence of elite interest groups such as bureaucrats, big business, and big farmers, does the political economy of the central bank in India not get defined by the same groups? If answers to such questions are in the affirmative, then looking into the political economy of a central bank could be superfluous. However, it has been noted, “The paradox is that while the state in India has been powerful (and often heavy-handed) in its regulatory and interventionist role, it will not be described as what the political economy literature calls a ‘strong state’” (Bardhan, undated).3 It is in this context that the political economy of central banking in India deserves special attention. Admittedly, to a large extent, in mainstream economics, central banks have been widely seen as technocratic institutions handling monetary policy (and banking supervision in many cases), essentially enjoying a monopoly over monetary policy. Then the obvious question is: why can’t a central bank perform as a specialized government department? After all, in a representative democracy, at a level of broad generalization, peoples’ aspirations are expected to be reflected in the elected

  • Working with the Public: How an Unusual Museum Enquiry Turned Into Travels Through Time and Space
    Freedman, J and Evans, J 2015 Working with the Public: How an Unusual Museum Enquiry Turned into Travels Through Time and Space. Open Quaternary, 1: 8, pp. 1–14, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/oq.ah ENGAGEMENT PAPER Working with the Public: How an Unusual Museum Enquiry Turned into Travels Through Time and Space Jan Freedman* and Jane Evans† This article has been corrected here: Museum enquiries offer a unique opportunity to engage on a one-to-one level with members of the pub- lic. This paper covers an unusual enquiry from 2013 of an unknown tooth that was brought into Plym- outh City Museum and Art Gallery for identification. We highlight how museum enquiries can engage with members of the public by involving them directly with original scientific research. The tooth was found in a garden in Plymouth with no associated data of about where it originated. We identified the tooth, and the enquirer researched the history of the house. The tooth gave the appearance of a sub-fossil so with the large number of Quaternary sites in Plymouth, together with the identifica- tion of the previous owner on the site, there were valid reasons to undertake testing of the tooth to determine its origin. Strontium (Sr) isotope analysis of the tooth was carried out to determine if the tooth was British and radiocarbon dating was undertaken to work out the age of the tooth. The 87Sr /86Sr of the leopard tooth gave a value of 0.716131, with Sr concentrations at 568ppm. This is a high concentration of Sr ppm relative to other British data, suggesting a non-British origin.
