The Rajasthan state cabinet on 28 November 2011 approved the decision to give khatedari rights to over 30000 farmers occupying the custodian land in Alwar, Sriganganagar, Hanumangarh and Bharatpur.  The farmers will have to pay a nominal regularisation fee to get the rights.

World’s Highest Webcam Installed on Everest

World's Highest Webcam Installed on Everest

The world's highest webcam has been installed in the Nepalese Himalayas, beaming live images of Mount Everest back to scientists studying the effects of climate change on the planet's tallest peak.

The solar-powered camera, set at 5,675 metres on Kala Patthar, a smaller mountain facing Everest, will withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius and operates during daylight hours.

The device, developed by German surveillance firm Mobotix, is more than a kilometre higher than the previous record for a high-altitude webcam set by a 4,389-metre-altitude camera at the base camp of Mount Aconcagua in Argentina.

The image is updated every five minutes, allowing climatologists to track the movement of the clouds around the mountain's summit.

The camera uses a wireless connection to transmit images to the Ev-K2-CNR Pyramid Laboratory, located at an altitude of 5,050 metres. The footage is then analysed by scientists in Italy who hope to learn more about climate change and global warming using the images in conjunction with meteorological data gathered from Everest.

The exact height of the world's tallest peak is also being re-measured in a separate Nepali project attempting to end confusion on the issue.

The World's First Test Tube Eld's Deer born at Khao Kheow Zoo in Thailand

The first Eld's deer was born via in vitro fertilization in Thailand. The researchers at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) collected eggs, inseminated in vitro with thawed semen to produce embryos and transferred the embryos to a surrogate mother. As a result, a fawn was born on 17 October 2011 at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand.

The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute plays a key role in the Smithsonian's global efforts to conserve species and train future generations of conservationists.

Eld's Deer is also known as the Thamin or Brow-antlered Deer. It is an endangered species of deer indigenous to southeastern Asia.

She  had prepared ground for talks between the two sides. She had acted as the sole mediator between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, her former colleague at Delhi University, and the ULFA leadership. She had prepared and submitted the first draft peace proposal to Singh.

Later, she had played a key role when the Sanmilta Jatiya Abhbartan, an umbrella body of civil society organisations of Assam, facilitated the resumption of dialogue between the ULFA and the Centre.

Ratings Firm Moody's downgraded Indian Banking System's Rating outlook from Stable to Negative

Global ratings firm Moody's on 9 November 2011 downgraded the entire Indian banking system's rating outlook from stable to negative indicating a deterioration in asset quality in the months ahead. In September 2011, Standard & Poor's (S&P) downgraded the country's largest lender, the State Bank of India, by one notch.

Arguing its case for the outlook downgrade the Moody's mentioned that with asset quality was anticipated to deteriorate over the next 12-18 months, thereby causing an increase in provisioning needs for the banks in financial year 2012 and 2013.

The Moody's decision was announced at a time when the Eurozone financial system is in turmoil and a large number of European banks are in dire straits.

The government rejected it claiming that the country's lending institutions are much healthier than their global counterparts. Indian bankers termed the move unwarranted and premature at this point of time.

The market apprehended that the downgrade by the Moody's would render overseas borrowings costlier for Indian banks. The negative sentiment sparked a major sell-off in banking stocks, resulting in the banking index on the Bombay Stock Exchange tumbling by 2.62 per cent on 9 November.

MoU signed between IIFCL, LIC & IDFC to provide Takeout Finance for Infrastructure Projects

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between IIFCL, LIC and IDFC on 17 September 2011 in the presence of Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to provide Takeout Finance for infrastructure projects.

The MoU between IIFCL and LIC and IDFC is to provide for takeout up to 50 per cent of the total project cost in the ratio of 20:20:10 by these institutions respectively. The mechanism is expected to help financing to the tune of Rs.30000 crore under the scheme. This will facilitate banks to take more exposure in new projects, which in turn will help in bridging the gap in infrastructure financing to a great extent.

Takeout Finance Scheme was launched on 12 October 2010 when an MoU between IIFCL and PNB, Allahabad Bank, Union Bank, Indian Bank and UCO Bank was signed. This scheme is aimed at removing the hurdles in infrastructure financing by addressing asset liability mismatch (ALM) and group exposure issues. In this scheme, IIFCL can take out debt up to 20 per cent of the total project cost after the COD of the project with certain limitations.

The Centre fixed the target for agricultural credit flow at Rs 475000 crore, of which Rs.112731 crore had already been extended. The States are to create awareness about the 4 per cent short-term crop loans being extended to farmers, who repay their loans on time.

73,000 habitations were set to be covered by banking services under Swabhimaan which is an ambitious plan for financial inclusion launched by the Central Government.

State leaders  in low credit deposit ratio states such as Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa and Dadra & Nagar Haveli to utilise State Level Bankers' Committee to boost credit-deposit ratio. All state governements were expected to cooperate to popularise e-payment.

Market Capitalization of all 24 Listed Public Sector Banks below that of 15 Listed Private Banks: The combined market capitalization of all 24 listed public sector banks,which control 73% of bank deposits,is currently below that of the 15 listed private banks.

On 15 November 2011, the combined market capitalization of the 24 public sector banks which include 19 nationalized banks, SBI and its three associates and IDBI was Rs 311877 crore. As against this,the market capitalization of 14 private banks was Rs 321613 crore. This is a reversal of the position at the beginning of 2011. As on 1 April 2011, the total mkt-cap of government-owned banks was Rs 439600 crore much higher than the Rs 374218 crore for private banks.

As on end-June 2011,PSU banks accounted for 74.6% of bank deposits while private sector banks had only 18%,with the rest of the funds lying with regional rural banks and foreign banks.In matters of credit, PSU banks account for 74.9% of bank loans in the country while private banks have only a 17.6% share.

Two bad quarters of 2011-12 for State Bank of India and reports of loan restructuring and NPA worries in public sector banks hit valuations hard.

HDFC Bank overtook SBI to become the most valuable bank in the country.Incidentally,SBI the largest lender in the country has contributed the most to the decline in value of public sector banks.

PSU banks can work around capital constraints in the short-term by consolidation or via a relaxation in norms that require the government to hold a minimum 51% stake.There also exists larger social burden on the public sector banks because of which they have had to restructure large loans. Compared to them the private banks have been selective in their lending and have had far fewer NPAs.
