From the foreword: "The earlier studies on the vegetation of Tehri, broadly encompassing the entire district as a whole, made by Dr. U.C. Bhattacharyya and Dr. A.K. Goel in 1982, included twelve rare and threatened species from the area. This prompted the ministry of environment & forests to have a fresh look, especially on the rare and endangered plants, and the responsibility was once again assigned to the northern circle, Botanical Survey of India, Dehra Dun. The present work by the scientists of the circle is an outcome of the explorations taken during 1992-93 exclusively in the submersible area of the proposed reservoir and study of earlier collections and literature. The report discusses thredbare the status of rare and endangered plant species and sets at rest all speculation about the impact of the proposed dam on these taxa. The report, along with a list of useful plants, may be helpful to the Tehri Hydro Development Authorities in planning and carrying out afforestation programmes.".

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The book presents a comprehensive view of the Indian equity markets over the past two decades (1994-2014). Equity markets constitute the most important segment of stock exchanges; in fact, the status of equity returns is, by and large, considered as a barometer of the state of a countryżs economy. Returns earned by the equity investors on their funds invested in equity markets have become a decisive factor in the growth of such markets. In this context, the book discusses all the major aspects of equity returns and also conducts a dis-aggregative analysis based on underlying factors like age, size, ownership structure, industry affiliation/sector, among others, to explain the factors affecting returns and risk. While on the one hand the study ascertains the market rates of return (earned) on equities from the investorsż perspective (by including both the capital gains and the dividend income), it also shows how to compute the rates of returns on equities from the corporate perspective(that is, rate of return earned on equity funds). It further assesses the required/expected rate of return and examines the volatility in stock returns, with a focus on its behaviour during the period of the study. It deepens investorsż understanding of equity investment, helping them to make more-informed investments. While of interest to the investor community, this book also contributes significantly to the existing literature on market returns and is a valuable reference resource for academics, researchers and market participants, financial institutions and other intermediaries, regulators and policy makers.
