Rapid industrialisation, burgeoning cities and grater dependence on fossil fuels have brought in their wake increased production of harmful pollutants, making life more and more unpleasant and unhealthy. Among the most common and virulent of air pollutants are sulphur dioxide, suspended particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and lead.

In addition, there is evidence of a growing threat to human health from even indoor pollutants such as radons, formaldehyde, mercury and organic substances. To this end, this book is timely (less)

An extensive banking network has been established; and India's banking system is no longer confined to metropolitan cities and towns. In fact, Indian banks are now spread out into the remote corners of our country.

A sound banking system should possess three basic characteristics to protect depositors interest and public faith. These are (i) a fraud free culture (ii) a tested best practice code, and (iii) an in-house immediate grievance remedial system.

All these conditions are either missing or extremely weak in India. The bank therefore, has to (less)
