| Summary/Abstract |
To expedite recoveries by the Banks, the law called the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest, 2002, popularly called the SARFAESI Act, has been enacted. A secured creditor Bank can enforce its securities without the intervention of courts and by following the procedure as prescribed under the said Act. This has been proven to be the second-best tool for recovery of NPAs after the advent of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
However, there are certain inconsistencies and ambiguities in the legislation passed by the Parliament and the Rules framed by the Government of India, which are ambiguous and hence causing difficulty for both the Banks and Auction purchasers.

| Summary/Abstract |
A credit score is often seen as a three-digit measure of trust. Behind it lies a sophisticated system of data collection and predictive analysis. India's four Credit Information Companies: CIBIL, Experian, Equifax, and CRIF High Mark, compile borrower data and generate scores from 300 to 900. This score now shapes customers' financial access and costs, while helping lenders assess risk in a fast-moving credit market.
Its rising importance is also driven by regulation. The Reserve Bank of India has issued several guidelines to improve accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. With the RBI Master Direction - Credit Information Reporting, 2025, the framework has become more comprehensive, borrower-focused, and technologically aligned with modern financial needs.
A credit score is a numerical representation of a person's credit behaviour. It is not a reflection of wealth, income, educational qualifications, or social status. Instead, it reflects how responsibly an individual has handled borrowed money in the past, based on verified data submitted by banks, NBFCs, cooperative banks, microfinance institutions, and other regulated credit institutions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Currency devaluation is when a government deliberately makes its money weaker compared to other countries' money, like the US dollar.
Think of interest rates as the reward for saving money in a bank. If the bank pays less interest, you're less likely to save there. When a country cuts interest rates, people (and big investors) move their money elsewhere, weakening the currency.

| Summary/Abstract |
The banking sector plays a foundational role in the economic architecture of any nation, acting as the primary channel for financial intermediation, credit distribution, and monetary policy transmission. In India, the performance of the banking sector is intricately linked to the country’s overall economic growth, financial inclusion, industrial development, and macroeconomic stability.
Over the years, Indian banks, both public and private, have shown remarkable resilience and adaptability amid global uncertainties, technological disruption, and evolving regulatory frameworks. The sector has demonstrated a robust recovery post-COVID-19, with improvements in key financial indicators such as profitability, asset quality, and capital adequacy. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), during the financial year 2023–24, the Gross Non-Performing Asset (GNPA) ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) declined to its lowest in over a decade, reflecting improved credit discipline, recovery efforts, and digital monitoring.
Furthermore, net interest margins have strengthened due to stable interest rates and increased lending activity, particularly in retail and MSME segments. Additionally, the digital transformation of banking, supported by initiatives like Digital India, UPI, Jan Dhan Yojana, and Aadhaar-based banking, has enhanced operational efficiency, customer reach, and financial inclusion.
Over 500 million Jan Dhan accounts and the widespread adoption of mobile banking have revolutionised how financial services are delivered to the underserved and unbanked population, thereby contributing to inclusive economic growth. While private sector banks remain at the forefront of innovation, public sector banks are seeing a revival in their performance as a result of reforms, recapitalisation, and mergers.
Credit growth has shown positive momentum, driven by increased demand from sectors like infrastructure, housing, and agriculture. The banking sector’s performance has also contributed significantly to India’s GDP growth, employment generation, and capital formation, proving its critical role in nation-building. However, challenges remain, ranging from cyber threats and regulatory compliance to ESG integration, climate-related financial risks, and the need for continuous technological upgradation. Strengthening governance, improving risk management, and aligning with global sustainability standards will be key to enhancing long-term performance.
In view of the above, the Indian banking sector stands as a strong pillar of the economy, with its improving performance acting as a catalyst for sustained economic growth and resilience. Banks are well-positioned to support India’s vision of becoming a 5-trillion-dollar economy and achieving Viksit Bharat @2047 by embracing innovation, transparency, and inclusive practices.

| Summary/Abstract |
India’s financial sector has experienced a dramatic shift over the past few decades, propelled by initiatives aimed at expanding credit access and fostering inclusivity. At the core of this transformation are Credit Information Companies (CICs), which have revolutionised lending by addressing information disparities, enhancing decision-making processes, and extending financial services to marginalised communities.
This article explores the historical evolution of CICs, the obstacles they have overcome, and the regulatory and technological advancements that have shaped their growth. It also examines the broader digital ecosystem and innovative technologies that work in tandem with CICs to create a more equitable and robust financial framework, enabling millions to access the credit they need to thrive.
Beyond merely transforming the lending landscape, Credit Information Companies (CICs) have contributed significantly to India’s broader economic development. CICs support the goals of financial stability and inclusion outlined in national development frameworks such as the Financial Sector Development Council (FSDC) and the Digital India Mission by creating an environment in which credit evaluation is faster, more accurate, and more transparent. Their evolution represents a fundamental shift from a cash-driven, informal financial system to a technology-driven, data-led ecosystem that empowers both lenders and borrowers.
Additionally, the emergence of advanced analytics, behavioural scoring, and real-time monitoring has enabled CICs to deepen their role in economic governance. As India continues to witness rising aspirations among its population, reliable credit data ensures equitable opportunities in entrepreneurship, home ownership, education finance, and livelihood enhancement. The story of CICs is therefore not just about credit, it is about the democratisation of economic opportunity at a national scale.

| Summary/Abstract |
Here is a moving and courageous
reversal of an old, male literary tradition
of the Indian subcontinent: the courtly
Urdu love poetry, transformed by
contemporary Pakistani women poets to
express their social, political and
personal resistance to the
Islamisation campaigns of the eighties.
These championed the veil for women,
introduced stoning as a punishment for
'adultery' (not distinguished from rape)
and threatened educational
opportunities for girls. The fear of
further oppression still looms large for
women in Pakistan in the nineties.
Rukhsana Ahmad's inspiring book will
appeal to all women caught in the
religious and cultural conflicts of our
time and to readers interested in sexual
politics. It provides a new insight into
the history of the women's movement
in Pakistan.
We Sinful Women is a useful text for
students and teachers involved in multicultural studies or in the study of
literature, especially that from the
subcontinent, as an original and
translated text.

Through their poems, prayers, and stories, the seventy-nine authors in Womenspsalms reflect on their experiences as Christian women in the 1990's. These "womenpsalms" cover a wide range of experience: giving birth, baking bread, hiking the Appalacian Trail. and facing death. The emotions expressed span the spectrum as well: from solidarity, anger, grief, and pain, to joy, celebration, and thanksgiving. Such a wide array of selections makes this volumne a valuable and versatile resource for personal prayer and reflection, group gatherings, or special prayer services. Womenpsalms is by women, but it is not solely for women. The selections can serve as a bridge between the sexes and open up communication on difficult topics, and readers are invited to use their own experiences and reflections as a way of prayer. Womenpsalms will also foster a sense of solidarity among women across generations and will send an affirming message to the next generation of women about respecting themselves and trusting their experiences.

| Summary/Abstract |
Written in a lucid style, the remarkable quality of the collection are the plots. The Last Laugh is Kottary's second collection of short stories where women take center-stage. It is inspired by the 'twist-in-the-tail' style of Roald Dahl, though the tales are not as macabre.
They are a delightful mix. A new bride's fantasy, the existential frustrations of a crusader's wife, the dilemma of a chic MBA in publicly recognizing her homespun parents, an aware-winning journalist who finds her campaign gone awry, a danseuse realizing that a Guru must do more than merely teach.. These are some of the experiences encountered by the protagonists in these stories. There is also a Rashomon-like tale of two women comparing husbands. Plus stories of loveless marriages, noisy neighbors, the sane insane, indecisiveness and also on what could go wrong in a sex-change operation.
Written in a lucid style, the remarkable quality of the collection are the plots. As also the writing; in the seamless fusion of thoughts, self-doubts and recollections of the characters with their dilemmas. While sketching a portrait of existence in contemporary urban India, these stories showcase some of the foibles of women and delight the reader with their quaint unpredictability.

| Summary/Abstract |
Issues of intergenerational (IG) mobility in entrepreneurship across countries are identified in the literature, hinting towards progeny of entrepreneurs mostly choosing business as a career. Linking the available literature strands of entrepreneurial attitude (EA), IG mobility in entrepreneurship, and the overarching entrepreneurial ecosystem, the present study aims to contribute further in developing a theoretical framework and test it empirically. The article uniquely focuses on women entrepreneurs, moving away from the tests of progeny among sons. The study setting is based on two Asian countries, distinctly differing from the Western countries, which host most of the classical management theories on entrepreneurship. By using ordered logistic regression on data from a primary survey of women entrepreneurs in Malaysia and Myanmar, it explores the effect of parental experience in entrepreneurial activities on EA scores, measured using behavioural sub-scales. Parental experience in entrepreneurship appears to be a dominant influence on EA in Myanmar, though it is not true for Malaysia. On the other hand, EA among Malaysian women entrepreneurs seems to be mediated far more strongly by education. With a comparative analysis of the policy framework for encouraging women entrepreneurship in both countries, the authors posit that in the absence of substantive support in the external business environment in Myanmar, business families tend to garner physical capital for their wards in business, rather than investing in their human and social capital. Thus, the policy prescription follows that equitable access to an enabling environment encourages IG mobility in entrepreneurship.

| Summary/Abstract |
The tangible benefits of entrepreneurial activities are realisable in the long rather than in the short term. Therefore, individuals entering self-employment should be willing to persist in their entrepreneurial activities. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), the current study examines the role of psychological work outcomes, including satisfaction of the need for autonomy, meaning in life and intrinsic job satisfaction, on intention to stay in self-employment or salaried employment. Cross-cultural and gender differences in the effects of these work outcomes on intention to stay in one’s current form of employment are also examined. The sample comprised 240 self-employed and 338 salary-employed individuals from Uganda and Germany. The results showed that the self-employed had higher intentions than the salary-employed individuals to stay in their current form of employment. We found that the satisfaction of the need for autonomy, meaning in life and intrinsic job satisfaction were positively associated with the intention to stay in the current form of employment, but more strongly among the self-employed individuals in all three countries. Similarly, both men and women in self-employment reported higher intentions to stay in their current work (compared to the salary-employed) when intrinsic job satisfaction, satisfaction of the need for autonomy and meaning in life are high. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study undertakes a bibliometric analysis to explore how research on social entrepreneurship (SE) and social innovation has evolved in emerging economies between 1986 and 2023. Although SE has attracted increasing global attention for its role in tackling socio-economic challenges, its development within emerging market contexts is still not well understood. By tracing thematic shifts, intellectual undercurrents and influential contributors, this review pays particular attention to the role of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in shaping SE practices, especially in environments marked by institutional gaps and limited resources. Drawing from 738 articles indexed in the Scopus database, the study analyses patterns in co-authorship, citation trends, keyword clusters and bibliographic connections. Notably, the findings show an uptick in SE-related publications after 2015, with Sustainability emerging as a key journal and Universitat de València leading institutional contributions. However, there remains a stark underrepresentation of research grounded in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. The analysis offers both a synthesis of current trends and a roadmap for future inquiry, emphasising the need for more regionally grounded, context-sensitive scholarship on EO in SE.

| Summary/Abstract |
Ordinarily, African countries suffer severe resource constraints. Resource constraints refer to insufficient means to meet sustainable economic growth demands. Regarding entrepreneurial activities, a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem is needed for the large uptake of and sustained interest in entrepreneurship. It is on record that African countries’ dilapidated infrastructure and maladministration, including weak institutions, are reasons sustainable entrepreneurial activities have been less than optimal. The recent COVID-19 pandemic no doubt extended the challenge of entrepreneurship on the continent. Using Pickering and Byrne’s (2014) systematic quantitative assessment technique, we identified, assessed and interpreted available research evidence that assisted us in exploring the impact of resource constraints on African entrepreneurial ecosystem formation, development and growth. We noted that COVID-19 added complexities to perennial questions about making African entrepreneurship ecosystems fit for supporting entrepreneurship development. Although African economies were already constrained in many ways, including their business environment, we conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges and opportunities for business management and entrepreneurship. While businesses could adapt in many cases, several aspects—such as government regulations, consumer behaviour shifts and global supply chain disruptions—were beyond their control. Navigating these uncertainties required agility, resilience and an ability to innovate, but it also highlighted the vulnerabilities and risks inherent in the modern globalised economy. This study synthesised the evidence on how COVID-19 intensified longstanding resource constraints within African entrepreneurial ecosystems, revealing that the compounded effects on business education, infrastructure and regulatory processes not only deepened small and medium enterprise (SME) vulnerabilities but also uncovered context-specific opportunities for resilience and innovation that have not been previously documented. Some implications and recommendations for future research are flagged. However, more importantly, we are convinced that African entrepreneurship has long suffered several political, economic, social and technological challenges that compromised its capacity to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, we conclude that a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem is crucial to SME development. As such, this study reinforces the need for the government to reconsider its approach to supporting SMEs.
