What is - and what should be - the role of rural credit in developing countries? There are two main views. The 'banking school' emphasizes the importance of financial viability of lending institutions, the removal of subsidies (including cross subsidies) and the mobilization of savings. The 'development school' emphasizes the need to steer rural credit into productive projects, and into the hands of the rural poor. The author is well equipped to steer the reader through this debate, and towards sound practical conclusions. He uses comparisons from many countries including the Indian sub-continent, the Philippines, Brazil, Cameroon, Malawi and South Korea.
This book presents an innovative approach to clinical assessment in psychiatry based on a number of psychopathological dimensions with a presumed underlying pathophysiology, that are related to fundamental phenomenological aspects and lie on a continuum from normality to pathology.

A rich, panoramic historical novel shows you Kumaon and the Raj as you have never seen them It is 1856, in picturesque Kumaon. History has already begun its steady march. Six native women clad in black and scarlet pichauras huddle around Naineetal Lake, attempting to cleanse it of threatening new influences. For, these are the days of Upper Mall Road (for Europeans and their horses) and Lower Mall Road (‘for dogs, servants and other Indians’). And this is the story of feisty young Tilottama Dutt, whose uncle hangs when he protests the reigning order—and her daughter, Deoki, who will confront change as Indians, and as women. Things to Leave Behind brings alive the romance of the mixed legacy of British-Indian past. Full of the fascinating backstory of Naineetal and its unwilling entry into Indian history, throwing a shining light on the elemental confusion of caste, creed and culture, illuminated with painstaking detail, here is a fascinating historical epic—and Namita Gokhale’s most ambitious novel yet.
