Consumer behaviour towards co-op banks-project reportAtul Gurav
Research topic assigned to our group as a part of Marketing Research Project
was “Customer Behaviour towards Co-operative Banks”. The objective of our
study was to understand customer behaviour as well as to understand whether
they are aware about the services and facilities offered by the Co-operative
Banks. The survey we conducted was confined to Karjat area, we reffered to
Five Co-operative banks and our sample size was 80.
Methodology used was Primary as well Secondary data. Type of study we
implemented was Exploratory as well as descriptive study. As per the Research
findings, many of the Respondents prefer co-operative banks over Nationalised
banks due to higher interest rate on deposits, preference given to local and
friendly approach of the bank towards their customers.So this clearly proves our
hypothesis is true.
Various Suggestion are provided in the report like Bringing awareness in the
housewives as they drive the family, to start with the internet and mobile
banking facility, etc. There were even several limitations to our study we
conducted like Time constraints , area , respondents, language barrier, genuinity
of information, insecurity towards providing personal information like phone
number , name and address.
This presentation aims to look into the supply side dynamics and present views of business correspondent network managers (BCNMs). BCNMs are responsible for the operational heavy lifting to make financial inclusion a reality. Thus, the paper highlights some of the key concerns of this critical stakeholder in the financial inclusion process, as well as their perspectives and expectations from various other stakeholders in financial inclusion space.
This presentation is based on a survey conducted by MicroSave in 2014, with fourteen leading BCNMs. The survey included gathering information on a variety of key outreach, transaction and activity metrics and a questionnaire to elicit qualitative aspects of BC operations. The questionnaire had four main components - (i) background and services offered, (ii) technology details, (iii) business management, and (iv) commissions and incentives.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Introduction
Industry Overview
Although some form of banking, mainly of the money-lending type, has been in
existence in India since ancient times, it was only over a century ago that proper
banking began. The earliest institutions which undertook banking business under the
British regime were agency houses which carried on banking business, in addition to
their trading activities.
With a view to bring commercial banks into the mainstream of economic development
with definite social obligations and objectives, the Government issued ordinance on 19
July 1969 acquiring ownership and control of 14 major banks in the country, with
deposits exceeding Rs 50 crores each. Six more commercial banks were nationalised
from 15 April 1980. The objectives of public sector banking system were outlined on 21
July 1969.
The three decades after nationalization saw a phenomenal expansion in the
geographical coverage and financial spread of the banking system in the country. As
certain rigidities and weaknesses were found to have developed in the system, during
the late eighties the Government of India felt that these had to be addressed to enable
the financial system to play its role in ushering in a more efficient and competitive
economy.
In the post-nationalization era, no new private sector banks were allowed to be set up.
However, in 1993, in recognition of the need to introduce greater competition, which
could lead to higher productivity and efficiency of the banking system, new private
sector banks were allowed to be set up in the Indian banking system.
Commercial Banking System in India consisted of 302 scheduled banks (including
foreign banks) and one non-scheduled bank at the end of March 1999. Over the period
March 1998 to March 1999, the number of scheduled banks increased by three while
that of non-scheduled banks remained unchanged at one. Of the scheduled banks, 223
are in public sector and these account for about 83 per cent of the deposits of all
scheduled commercial banks. In the public sector banking system, there are 196
3
4. 25
regional rural banks, specially set up to increase the flow of credit to small borrowers in
the rural areas. These banks have specified areas of operations usually limited to two to
three districts. They also undertake some other commercial banking business. The
remaining 27 banks in the public sector are regular commercial banks and transact all
types of commercial banking business. Some important indicators in regard to progress
of commercial banking in India during the recent past are given in table 13.4.
Amongst the public sector banks, as on March 1999, the State Bank of India (SBI)
group (SBI and its seven associates) is the biggest unit with 13,290 offices and deposits
exceeding 1,39,000 crore aggregating Rs 1,71,782.48 crore and advances of Rs
1,14,430.37 crore. In the associate banks, SBI owns either the entire or the majority of
share capital. The SBI and its associate banks as a group account for around 31.9 per
cent of aggregate banking business (aggregate of deposits and advances) conducted
by the public sector banks and around 26.2 per cent of the aggregate business of the
entire banking system. The remaining 19 banks in the public sector are more
nationalised in 1969 and 1980 respectively
Industry Characteristics
The banking industry has moved gradually from a regulated environment to a
deregulated market economy. The market developments kindled by liberalization and
globalization have resulted in changes in the intermediation role of banks. The pace of
transformation has been more significant in recent times with technology acting as a
catalyst. While the banking system has done fairly well in adjusting to the new market
dynamics, greater challenges lie ahead.
The financial system is the lifeline of the economy. The changes in the economy get
mirrored in the performance of the financial system, more so of the banking industry.
Liberalization and de-regulation process started in 1991-92 has made a sea change in
the banking system. From a totally regulated environment, we have gradually moved
into a market driven competitive system. Our move towards global benchmarks has
4
5. 25
been, by and large, calibrated and regulator driven. The pace of changes gained
momentum in the last few years.
Structure and ownership pattern would undergo changes. There would be greater
presence of international players in the Indian financial system. Similarly, some of the
Indian banks would become global players. Government is taking steps to reduce its
holdings in Public sector banks to 33%. However the indications are that their PSB
character may still be retained.
Technology as an enabler is separately discussed in the report. It would not be out of
place, however, to state that most of the changes in the landscape of financial sector
discussed above would be technology driven. In the ultimate analysis, successful
institutions will be those, which continue to leverage the advancements in technology in
re-engineering processes and delivery modes and offering state-of-the-art products and
services providing complete financial solutions for different types of customers.
Banks will take on competition in the front end and seek co-operation in the back end,
as in the case of networking of ATMs. This type of competition will become the order of
the day as Banks seek to enlarge their customer base and at the same time to realize
cost reduction and greater efficiency.
Problem Statement
To determine the Attitude of Customers towards Public sector & private Sector banks
Research Objective
To profile the customers in terms of:
⇒ Their savings pattern
⇒ Their banking pattern (frequency of transactions)
⇒ Preferences while selecting a bank for transacting for the first time

Sampling Design
Since most of the country’s population is now engaged in banking transactions, it would
be infeasible to interview all of them. Hence the method of sampling was used.
The basic idea of sampling is that by selecting a representative sample, it’ll prove useful
in drawing valid conclusions and help in achieving a reliable result for this research.
This method is used mainly because of the large and the widely spread nature of the
Banker’s market.
To give reliable results by the sampling procedures 2 important factors should be taken
care of:
Accuracy: The degree to which bias is absent from the sample.
Precision: It should fully represent its population in all respects.
Relevant Population
The relevant population in our case is all those transact with banks (Public or Private)
on a rather frequent basis and hold accounts in alteast one bank. The method of simple
random sampling is used.
Parameters of Interest
In our survey of estimating the attitudes of the bankers, the entire population is divided
into various parameters to enable us to diagnosis the perception the various categories
of users. These parameters are:
The income level
The occupation
Area of residence
Sampling Frame
Since only people who hold bank accounts and are engaged in frequent banking
transactions applicable for this research, there was a list prepared of selected people
doing so. However, it was prepared on random basis.

7. 25
Type of sample
For the purpose of this research, the probability random sampling method was adopted.
With this sample design, care has been taken to avoid arbitrary or biased selection of
sample element. Also, it will help in predicting the behaviour of the total population.
Sample size
We intended to follow Normal Distribution curve while testing Hypothesis, a sample of
60 respondents was selected.
We have seen to it that our survey has equal participation from people of both sexes. In
addition, we have taken care that the survey has cut across various occupation barriers,
so that the results are not job or occupation specific.
Data source
The background information about public and private sector banks was collected by
visiting various sites and scanning various magazines.
However, the research analysis was based mainly on the primary data input received
from the customers themselves while conducting the fieldwork.
Research Design
Exploration
Purpose of the study:
The research design is of Descriptive type which aims to find out the Attitude of
customers towards public and private sector banks while selecting of transactions. It
aims to find answers to question like….
Is your bank at a convenient location for you?
7
8. 25
Do you trust your bank?
Does the age of the bank matter when selecting them?
Do you prefer to use Modern technology in banking?
To what extent does the physical environment affect your decision about transacting
with a bank?
Does your bank’s commitment towards social causes have any bearing your selection
decision?
Instrument
The instrument used for the research is the questionnaire, which was prepared after a
thorough knowledge of various aspects of factors that influence a particular consumer in
the bank-selection procedure.
Questionnaire Design
There were two main objectives while framing the questionnaire.
First it aimed to find out generally to find out the selecting pattern of a person for a bank.
For instance,
⇒ Is the bank at a convenient location?
⇒ To what extent does their friends’ opinion matter?
⇒ To what extent does the physical environment affect your decision?
⇒ Is the age of the bank important?
And secondly, it aimed at the intricate details, which a customer takes into consideration
while selecting a bank like,
⇒ Transaction tracking system availability
⇒ Staff-friendliness with the customers
⇒ ATM coverage by the banks
⇒ Net Banking facility
⇒ 24-customer service

Study’s Variables
The study was mainly focused on getting as diverse sample size, which is a healthy
representation of the population. So the incomes, area of residence, occupation were
the study’s variables.
Data Collection
Team
The preparation of the questionnaire and the administration of the survey were carried
out by the same research team.
Location
All places of Mumbai were covered in the survey.
Data collection time
The instruments were administered from first week of February to fourth week of
February 2004 to collect the response. The team took around 4 weeks of time to gather
all the relevant information.
Efforts to remove bias:
The survey was conducted in public locations like bus stops, educational institutions,
corporate offices etc .to gather the primary data.
Field instructions
Since the questionnaire was designed to be administered only on those consumers who
transacted with banks and held alteast one account in any bank, the field staffs were
told to ask the consumers before they filled the questionnaire.
Relevance of secondary data
9

The above tabulation shows that male prefer private sector banks whereas females
prefer public sector banks. The reason for this attitude is that females prefer security.
For them the age of the bank as well as the good will achieved by it is important. This is
proved by the following cross tabulation between Gender and Importance of bank age:
Bank Age - Important Bank Age – Not Important

Conclusion
Customers have a positive attitude for private sector banks than public sector banks but
the difference between the 2 categories is only of 6% (Overall Performance graph).
Thus this minimal difference is due to various factors enumerated above. There are
certain aspects on which public sector performance is better but there are couple of
others where private banks are far ahead. If public sector banks improve on these
factors than it is possible for them to compete with private sector banks effectively. Thus
the recommendations for public sector banks to build a better image and develop
goodwill and positive attitude amongst customers are as follows :
1. Provide more facilities (productsservices). If they are already available create
awareness amongst customers.
2. Better one to one correspondence. Give time to individual customer and need.
Project the image that the bank cares for them.
3. Flexibility in operations is desired. Ex: Providing customers with the notes of
denomination they demand. This type of flexibility though does not break the
rules of the bank but creates a friendly image in customers mind.
4. Reduced response time. Efficiency in operations is to be obtained. Technological
improvements have to be made and response time should be reduced through
highly computerized and technological oriented processes.
5. Be more user-friendly (language). Customers (especially rural area) prefer to
interact in their local language and thus would like to visit banks where his
queries are better understood and thus efficiently solved.
18
19. 25
6. Improved crisis handling system. This is the area where public sector banks
need to improve tremendously because private sector banks have setup a highly
technological systems to handle crisis situation like losing of cheques, ATM card,
credit card, etc. the system responds as quick as 1 minute in case of lost ATM
cards (Ex: Standard Chartered Bank). This time is of tremendous importance to
customer. Thus all care should be taken to reduce the time.
7. Better ATM coverage. If it already exist than creation of awareness about the
same amongst customers.
