Time period of the study is from year 2005-06 to 2012-13 and based on secondary data collected from annual reports of RRBs in Haryana and some measures are suggested that the banks should simplify and standardize their procedure for scrutinizing loan applications and documentation formalities with a view to reducing the number of required documents and all RRBs must adopt a uniform money lending policy, The farmers should be educated for the proper utilization of loans through strong extension machinery so that defaults in recovery can be avoided, The willful defaulters responsible for maintaining overdues should be forced to repay the loans and should be dealt with strictly etc.

Prominence on organic foods is growing day by day as the awareness for health and environment is snowballing. Organic foods are more common in western countries but it is still in nascent stage in India. This paper attempts to find significant relationship of the predictors (knowledge about organic food, health concern and environmental concerns) on intentions to buy organic food. Structured questionnaire was administered to get responses using mall intercept survey method. A total of 204 responses came. Out of three independent variables under study namely knowledge, health concerns and environmental concerns, only two were found to affect the intention. The value of regression coefficients for environmental concern was lowest (b= 0.075, p>0.05) which means it is not having an impact on intentions directly. Health concern was found to have highest impact on intention (b= .614, p<.05). The study is confined to Pondicherry area only but provides important information about intentions towards organic food. The study would be helpful for mall owners, Retail outlets, super markets and restaurants in identifying the significant predictors of intention to buy organic food of consumers. This paper revisits the applicability of predictors of intention to buy organic food in the proposed model in Indian context.

Organizational justice is one of the widely researched areas in Industrial/ Organizational psychology and it refers to the extent to which employees perceive outcomes, procedures and interactions to be fair. Perception of fairness is a crucial concept for employees because it determines their attitudes and behaviours which ultimately have an impact on productivity of the organization. Employees who perceive equality and feel that they are rewarded fairly for their genuine contributions towards organization are satisfied. Employees having satisfaction tend to exert higher level of performance, commitment and reduced retention rates. A lot of work has been done on organizational justice in western countries but studies are lacking in Indian context. The present study is aimed at assessing the perception of organizational justice and its effect on job satisfaction on employees. The sample consists of 50 managerial level employees from various banks of Uttar Pradesh. Perception of justice has been assessed by using questionnaire designed by Neihoof and Moorman (1993) which consists of 20 items. Findings revealed that there is significant and positive relationship between organizational justice and job satisfaction. Further, result suggests that organizational justice is strong predictor of job satisfaction. The study is a useful addition in literature that would help the organizations to increase job satisfaction of their employees.

What to choose as one's future career is among the most significant decisions a young person makes in life. Adolescence is an important period during which decision about the future is made and career is carved out, but unfortunately many adolescents experience episodes of career indecision. The aim of this research is to determine if career thoughts, parental support, and career decision-making self-efficacy can predict adolescents' career indecision. The study utilized the descriptive correlational method as its design and the participants were chosen through purposive sampling procedure with 538 adolescent-respondents. Results showed that adolescents' career indecision significantly correlated with career thoughts, parental support and career decision-making self-efficacy. Regression analysis using R² showed that 56% of the variation in career indecision is attributed to predictor variables. Results imply that when adolescents boost parental support and self-efficacy and reduce dysfunctional thoughts they would tend to improve their career indecision. Thus, a career guidance program focusing on the three predictor variables must be developed and implemented as a tool to help adolescents make appropriate career decisions in life.

Monetary policy may either be defined in a broad or in a narrow sense. Defined in a broader sense, monetary policy not only includes monetary measures but also non-monetary measures which have monetary effects. In this sense, monetary policy covers a wide range of policies and measures. It includes not only monetary measures which influence the cost and availability of money but also those non-monetary measures which influence monetary situations. Thus, non-monetary measures such as control of prices or wages, physical control, budgetary measures, income policy measures, etc. would be included within the scope of monetary policy defined in broader sense in so far as their primary aim is to influence the monetary situation.

The famous writer Mr. E. L. Normanton states in his Book titled “The Accountability and Audit of Government” states “without audit, no accountability, without accountability, no control”.The main object of commercial audit is to present before the proprietor or proprietors of the business an accurate statement of the position of affairs together with a Profit and Loss Account showing how this position has been reached. In the case of companies the duty of an auditor is mainly in the interest of the shareholders, who are practically sleeping partners in the business. On the other hand the Government is responsible to spend the money which is collected from the public in shape of Taxes and Levies. As such the Government Audit is rather more important than that of the commercial audit and was recognised during pre-independence era with the introduction of constitutional Reforms of 1919. The necessity and importance of Government Audit has increased day by day as the Governments have involved in more and more activities by using the public funds.

The purpose of this study is to explore self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment among academicians in private and public sector institutions. Self-efficacy is a belief in one's capacities and the positive attitude towards life.Organizational commitment is state that binds the individual to organization in which they work. Several studies have revealed that self-efficacy and optimism as a significant predictor of employee's attitude to organizational commitment.Literature on the relationship between self-efficacy, optimism and organizational commitment supports the notion that self-efficacy and optimism is an important determinant of organizational commitment.Teacher's Self-efficacy and optimistic behaviour is one of the important variable in education over 25 years now. This variable impacts student's outcome like students achievement scores. In Indian Academic scenario work has been done on self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment but not much has been done when we compare academicians of private and public sector.Teacher's self-efficacy has been found to relate to positive student and teacher behaviour's, and has a positive effect on educational system and its improvements which leads to the commitment towards the organization.Several studies have shown that academicians from public and private sector institution also differ in terms of their commitment towards the organization.
