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.

Socio-economic empowerment has been understood to be the mainstay of development initiatives in India and the developing world. The role of women tends to get underplayed especially in terms of social capital. The work participation of women tends to remain latent and unacknowledged in terms of adequate remuneration. Elements of caste, class and religious grouping tend to further aggravate the position of the women on the socio-economic ladder. Many of the programmes and initiatives taken up by the government and the corporate sector have suffered setbacks due to the invisibility of the women in the social capital of the region. Not only are the women not acknowledged as partners in economic progress they are waylaid on the road to development of women's participation in the district's economy which are considered and which are ignored in the gradation of women's inputs and contribution on a regular established basis.

The apparel industry in India has experienced a tremendous upward surge in exports as well as the domestic market. These trends have been the result of newer markers in the industrial manufacturing processes. Market watchers have analysed these changed circumstances and have come up with a number of observations. These signs indicate that there is scope for improving manifold the current status of Indian based apparel products in the world market. The researcher has closely studied the production process of units in northern India and found the singular gatekeeper to the attainment of optimum sales to be located within the manufacturing process undertaken. The world apparel markets have progressed to the idyll of zero defects. India and more particularly, northern Indian apparel manufacturers have been riding high on the benefits of comparatively cheaper labour and raw material availability. However, the past decade has seen an overwhelming increase in the number of rejections. Several manufactures have been severely hit as they have had to suffer losses because of undue investments made on speculative orders. The researcher has attempted to examine the plight of the apparel units in the perspective of the changed world scenario in apparel purchases. Piles of rejected products have driven manufacturing units to revisit and reconsider their policies, approach and process programmes. This paper looks at the various lacunae and issues that have been afflicting the Indian apparel industry. The reasons, the remedies and the future approach have been examined.

Insomnia is a condition wherein a person has problems regarding his/her patterns of sleep. Falling asleep, being unable to remain asleep are examples of disrupted sleep patterns. Some insomniacs have trouble falling asleep and remaining asleep. The subject must also suffer some degree of impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of daytime functioning such as “tiredness, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, and irritability”. In this study we have assessed the altered state i.e. sleepiness in real- life situations among insomniacs. For this we took a sample of 200 people, 100 control group and 100 insomniacs and applied Epworth Sleepiness Scale to assess sleepiness. The study reveals that Daytime Sleepiness among insomniacs was more prominent. Our findings suggest that the assessment and treatment of insomnia-related complaints should be included in any overall plan of care designed to optimize sleepiness as well as other important clinical outcomes.
