The purpose of this research is to assess the current status of financial inclusion in the various districts of Assam, India. A financial inclusion index is developed for each district in Assam by using data pertaining to three key dimensions of financial inclusion: banking penetration, availability of banking services and usage of banking services. The findings indicate that despite several initiatives to provide financial services to all, the success of financial inclusion in Assam is still far from satisfactory. Significant disparities exist in the extent of financial inclusion across the districts in Assam. While a few districts have achieved considerable success, the achievements of the majority of districts are unsatisfactory. The regression analysis indicates that literacy has a significant effect on such disparities in financial inclusion. The study argues that to enhance the efficacy a...

This has added a new dimension to the cultural environment. The NorthEastern Region (NER) of India is home to hundreds of ethnic groups and is distinguished by a diverse traditional heritage of tribal (folk) arts and culture. The present studyexamines the cultural aspect of globalisation and its ramifications for the folk (tribal) cultures of NorthEast India. This is basically an analytical study and based mainly on secondary information. The study concludes that globalisation is inescapable in the current situation, and that the tribes of NER should accept globalisation if they want to prosper and compete with the rest of the world. However, extreme caution should be exercised in order to limit the negative and unanticipated impacts of globalisation on the region's traditional culture.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the factors that limit consumers' attitudes toward online shopping in Assam's South Salmara Mankachar, one of India's most backward and rural districts. The study is mainly based on primary data collected from a sample of 120 respondents using a structured questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis generated five factors that limit consumers' attitudes towards online purchasing. These include issues with order cancellation, return/exchange, and after-sales service; delivery risk; website design; product risk; and a lack of trust and security. The paper is based on original work, and the items on the questionnaire were found to be reliable after checking the Cronbach's Alpha value. The use of exploratory factor analysis for the study is supported by the KMO measure of sample size adequacy and the Bartlett's Test of Sphericity. This study will not only assist future researchers by providing a literature on online shopping in rural areas, but it will also help online retailers in designing customer-driven strategies to boost customer loyalty and expand their rural customer base.
