      <description><![CDATA[Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) will partner with the Association of Microfinance Institutions of India (AMFI) to support women entrepreneurs in the backward districts of West Bengal.
Deputy Managing Director of SIDBI, Sudatta Mandal, said that the women entrepreneurs will also be helped in terms of getting market and credit linkages.
Speaking at the AMFI-WB micro-finance summit here, Mandal said SIDBI has already spearheaded the project in Odisha and it has been very successful.
"Six backward districts of West Bengal have been identified for this purpose and 12,000 women will be given credit so that their incomes rise. This will be a two-year intervention by SIDBI," he stated.
By this intervention, the average income of women will rise by at least 30 per cent, Mandal added.
Alok Mishra, CEO of MFIN, a self-regulatory organisation (SRO) in the micro-finance sector, said the basic idea is of financial inclusion which had been the focus of successive governments s]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[State-owned Coal India's subsidiary NCL will soon start production of M-Sand, a material used for construction works.
Northern Coalfields Ltd (NCL) will start production of M-Sand or Manufactured Sand for its Amlohri project in Madhya Pradesh, according to a coal ministry statement on Tuesday.
M-Sand is artificial sand produced from crushing hard stones into small sand-sized  angular shaped particles, washed and finely graded to be used as construction aggregate. It is an alternative to river sand for construction works.
NCL is all set to start production of M-Sand and the move is aimed at maximising the utilisation of natural resources and minimising the adverse impact of mining.
Eyeing business diversification while focusing on the ecological balance, the company has set up a sand manufacturing plant using its over burden as a raw material.
This pro-environment move of the company will help in conserving river bed erosion and preserve aquatic ecosystems, as per the ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Debt-ridden Religare Finvest Ltd (RFL) is hopeful of restarting its business operation in the New Year following the company's proposal of Rs 2,300 crore One Time Settlement (OTS) finding favour from most of the lenders.
Once the OTS process is completed, RFL will come out of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) imposed by the Reserve Bank of India in January 2018  due to its weak financial health.
According to sources, 14 out of 16 lenders have signed the OTS agreement and the remaining two are expected to sign in a day or two, sources said.  Query to RFL did not elicit any response in this regard.
RFL, an NBFC arm of Religare Enterprises Ltd, owed about Rs 5,300 crore to the consortium of lenders led by State Bank of India (SBI). As part of the proposed OTS, the company in June 2022 deposited Rs 220 crore earnest money with the lead lender demonstrating its commitment towards RFL revival.
The company and its promoter are ready to make payment during this month itself even though they]]></description>
