The present study was conducted to assess the market potential of traditional textile oxen handicraft articles of Haryana after modifying some selected articles for contemporary use. An exhaustive list of traditional oxen handicraft articles was compiled with the help of elderly rural women. Maximum possible articles were collected from villages. Two articles viz. Bailari and Aather were selected for modification to suit contemporary tastes. Experts were consulted on how to improve these articles to achieve a modern look. Following experts' suggestions, the selected articles were recreated. Bailari was replicated in miniature form for decorative purposes. The distinct appliqué work of aather was imitated to create stylish cushion covers. The prepared articles were assessed for marketability by 200 respondents including Indian as well as foreign visitors and stall owners/exporters at the International Trade Fair, Delhi. Bailari, with WMS 3.33, was found to have excellent market potential while overall acceptability of cushion cover was found to be good with WMS 2.50.

Although there exist many empirical studies on forward contracts to hedge the currency risk, the evidence for other types of derivatives like currency options are in minority. The literature regarding option payoffs especially in context of Indian foreign exchange contracts is very less. The present study fills this gap and has tried to assess the profitability of payoffs from adopting bearish option strategies on USD-INR. The study was done for a period of 68 months from October 2010 to June 2016. Strategies namely long put, short call and bear call spread were employed on USD-INR. Amongst all the strategies, 2%OTM short call performed better with least coefficient of variance. It was found that returns from option strategy for each of moneyness applied is not significantly different from zero. The returns from all the three bearish option strategies was further compared with the help of one-way ANOVA. It was found that there was no significant difference at 5% level of significance.

There are varied views among people about how sustainability would affect the cost of their products and whether it would be beneficial or would have an adverse affect. Ultimately they found it to be great boost for their business. “As mounting research shows, the stable functioning of Earth systems including the atmosphere, oceans, forests, waterways, biodiversity, and biogeochemical cycles is The United Nations Rio+20 summit in Brazil in 2012 committed governments to create a set of sustainable development goals (SDGs) that would be integrated into the follow-up to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) after their 2015 deadline. Discussions on how to formulate these continue this week at UN headquarters in New York. We argue that the protection of Earth's a prerequisite for a thriving global society. With the human population set to rise to 9 billion by 2050, definitions of sustainable development must be revised to include the security of people and the planet” (Disley, 305-307).

The Indian banking sector is severely suffering with the problem of growing Non Performing Assets (NPAs) of banks. This unwanted growth has a direct impact on the profitability and liquidity of banks; it also poses threat on quality of assets and survival of banks. The economic growth scenario of the country needs a sound and resilient banking industry to support it. In this regard the present paper is an attempt to examine the health of banking industry with reference to the position of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and ability of banks to absorb various shocks. The paper provides an insight on the position of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of the top 5 public sector banks and top 3 private sector banks. Stress test sensitivity analysis has been used to analyze the CAR position of the banks considered for the study. A stress test is an analysis conducted under unfavorable economic scenarios which is designed to determine whether a bank has enough capital to withstand the impact of adverse developments. These tests are meant to detect weak spots in the banking system at an early stage, so that preventive action can be taken by the banks and regulators. Under the stress test sensitivity analysis of capital adequacy ratio is to be studied by imparting shocks to the NPA levels.
