It is a well known fact that the banking sector forms the backbone of any country with significant contribution towards GDP. However the banking sector is facing a plethora of challenges on its course of development. The rising awareness on climate concern with environmental regulations coming into the light, the Paris Agreement urging institutions to make the economic transition toward sustainability are the major constraints faced by the banking sector today. It chooses to sort out and study the opportunities in a changing retail banking environment, investigating what green banking products’ customers anticipate from their bank and how the introduction of green banking product might affect customer loyalty. 200 individuals were engaged in the study and their responses were analysed through the development of a customer loyalty framework from the literature gathered. The results showed a positive attitude by customers towards green banking products while also not indicating a clear preference or desirability for a specific product. In addition to this, this study found a positive relationship between the introduction of green banking products and increased customer loyalty. The study came to the conclusion that green banking products suggestively have an advantageous position in the evolving financial sector.

Most simulations of food production in response to various climates to date have used simulations of the same crop over multiple years. This study evaluated the impact of projected climate on performance of rice-lentil-groundnut cropping sequence in New Alluvial Zone of West Bengal, India, using DSSAT model. The study period consisted of baseline (1980–2010), mid-century (2040–2069) and end-century (2070–2099). Advancement in days to anthesis (2–13 days) was simulated for rice during the future periods. For lentil and groundnut, average advancement in days to anthesis was 1 day. Days to maturity were shortened by 3–16 days for rice and 0–7 days for lentil. Nevertheless, for groundnut, the days to maturity were simulated to increase by 1–9 days. The impact on final biomass and yield was simulated with and without CO2 fertilization, and the positive impact of CO2 fertilization was prominent for all the three crops. When CO2 fertilization effect was considered, the yield of rice was projected to increase by 11–32%. On the other hand, yield of lentil and groundnut was estimated to change by − 31 to − 12% and − 33 to + 8%, respectively. Enhanced CO2 could mitigate the magnitude of yield reduction due to enhanced temperature. Rice was benefited due to the carryover effect of residue from preceding groundnut and, hence, could sustain the yield on a long term. The study could also quantify the uncertainty in simulation of yield due to selection of GCMs.

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act MNREGA is one of the most progressive legislations enacted in India, since independence. That is a bold and unique experiment in the provision of rural employment in India. The economic development of women leads to better living standards in the family, educational, nutritional, and the health needs of the children were well satisfied. Women empowerment leads to sustainable social development. MNREGA scheme mainly focusing on the rural development and upliftment of the rural people. MNREGA has a great impact on women empowerment and the scheme has enlightened the women’s life. The Act provides they to work within the 5 kilometers of the village and it provides them an opportunity to work within their village and they can also able to look after their children. The main objectives of the study is to identify the initiatives of MNREGA and study its impact on the life of rural women and assessing the level of efficiency of MNREGA’s and to find out the problems in the scheme and provide adequate suggestions to improve them. Alappuzha district of Kerala has been chosen as the area of study, which comprises of three Taluks in revenue divisions namely, Ambalappuzha, Kuttanad and Cherthala. The main purpose of the study is to have a critical view of the impact of MNREGP and its effect on women empowerment. Multi stage Stratified Random Sampling Technique has been adopted for the study. The study concluded that 26.83 per cent of the respondents under the MNREGP in the study area are involved in formation of form pond and 26.66 per cent of the respondent involved in plantation of trees.
