EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

Finance is a life blood of trade, commerce and industry. Now-a-days banking sector
act as a backbone of modern business. Development of any country mainly depends
upon banking system

The term bank is derived from Italian word banca or from a French word banque.
In olden days, European money lenders used to display coins of different countries in
big quantity for the purpose of lending or exchanging.

A bank is a financial institution that provides banking and other


financial services to their customers. A bank is an institution which provides
fundamental banking services such as accepting deposits and providing loans. There
are also non-banking institutions that provide certain banking services without
meeting the legal definition of a bank. A system provided by the bank which offers
cash management services for customer, reporting the transaction of their accounts
and portfolios, throughout the day. The banking system in India should not be hassle
free but it should be able to meet the new challenges like any other external as well as
internal factors. All the banks safeguard the money and valuables and provide loan,
credit, and payment services, such as checking accounts, money order, and cashier
checkups.

The bank also offers investments and insurance products. Bank is the financial
institution and a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those
deposit into lending activities, either directly by loaning or indirectly thorough capital
markets. a bank may defined as an institution that accepts deposits, markets loans,
pays checks, and provides financial services. A banks is financial intermediary loan
the safeguard , transferring, exchange, or lending of money. A primary role of banks
is connecting those with funds, such as investors and deposits to those seeking funds
such as individuals or business needing loans, A bank is the connections between
customer that have capitals deficits and customers with capitals surplus.

Banks distribute the medium of exchange. Banking is a business.


Banks sell their services to earn money, and they must market and manage those
services in a competitive field. Banks are financial intermediaries that safeguard,
transfer, exchange, and lend money and like other businesses that must earn a profit to
survive. Understanding this fundamental idea helps you to understand how banking
systems work, and helps you understand many modern trends in banking and finance.

The services banks offer to customers have to do almost entirely with handling money or
finances for other people. Banks are critical to our economy.

The primary function of banks is to put their account holders' money to use by lending it out
to others who are in need of the same. 

Money is a medium of exchange, an agreed-upon system for measuring the value of


goods and services. Once, and still in some places today, precious stones, animal
products, or other goods of value might be used as a medium of exchange. This
system was used for centuries, before the invention of money. People used to
exchange the goods or services for other goods or services in return.

This system is also known as “Barter System” and an age-old method that was
adopted by people to exchange their services and goods. Roman soldiers were
sometimes paid in salt, because it was critical to life and was a scarce commodity at
those times. 

Anything with an agreed-upon value might be a medium of exchange. Today,


many forms of money are used. Money is any object or record that is generally
accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given socio-
economic context or country. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a
medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally in the past,
a standard of deferred payment. Any kind of object or secure verifiable record that
fulfills these functions can be considered money. Money simply shows how much
something is worth, whether it is a new gadget that you can purchase or two hours of
your labor.

When you have money, a bank can act as your agent for using or protecting that
money. Modern banking in India originated in the last decade of the 18th century.
Among the first banks. were the Bank of Hindustan, which was established in 1770
and liquidated in 1829–32; and the General Bank of India, established in 1786 but
failed in 1791.

The largest and the oldest bank which is still in existence state bank of India.
(S.B.I). It originated and started working as the ban in mid-June bank of Culcuata
1806. In 1809, it was renamed as the bank of Bangal. This was one of the three banks
found presidency government the other two were the bank of Bombay in 1840 and the
bank in 1843.

The three banks were merged in 1921 to form the imperial bank of India, which
upon India's independence, became the state bank of India in 1955. For many years
the presidency banks had acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors, until t
reserve bank of india was established in 1935, under the reserve bank of India.

In 1960, the State Banks of India was given control of eight state-associated
banks under the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, 1959. These are now
called its assiociate bank In 1969 Indian government nationalished 14 major private
banks; one of the big banks was bank of india. In 1980, 6 more private banks were
nationalised.[8] These nationalised banks are the majority of lenders in the . Indian
economy They dominate the banking sector because of their large size and
widespread networks.[9]

Definition

As per section 5 (b) of the banking regulation act 1949. "Banking" means the
accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the
public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by check, draft order or

4
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

otherwise. Banking can be defined also the business activity of accepting and
safeguarding money owned by other individuals and entities, and then lending out this
money in order to earn a profit.

However, with the passage of time, the activities covered by banking business
have widened and now various other services are also offered by banks. The banking
services these days include issuance of debit and credit cards, providing safe custody
of valuable items, lockers, ATM services and online transfer of funds across the
country / world.

2. NEED OF BANKING

Before the establishment of banks, the financial activities were handled by money
lenders and individuals. At that time the interest rates were very high. Again there
were no security of public savings and no uniformity regarding loans. So as to
overcome such problems the organized banking sector was established, which was
fully regulated by the government. The organized banking sector works within the
financial system to provide loans, accept deposits and provide other services to their
customers. The following functions of the bank explain the need of the bank and its
importance: To provide the security to the savings of customers. To control the
supply of money and credit To encourage public confidence in the working of the

5
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

financial system, increase savings speedily and efficiently. To avoid focus of


financial powers in the hands of a few individuals and institutions. To set equal
norms and conditions (i.e. rate of interest, period of lending etc) to all types of
customers

3. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF BANKING.

Banking in India is originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first
banks were bank of Hindustan (1770-1829) and the general bank of India, established
in 1786.

The largest bank, and the oldest bank still in existence, is the state bank of India,
which originated in the bank of Calcutta in June 1806 which almost immediately
becomes the bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other
two being the bank of Bombay and the bank of madras, All three were established
under chartered from the British east India, after India’s independence, become the
state bank of India in 1955. For many years the presidency banks acted as quasi-
central banks, until the Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935.

In 1969 the Indian government nationalized all the major banks that it did not
already owned and these have remained under government ownership. They are run
under a structure known as "Profit Making Public Sector Undertaking" and are
allowed to complete and operate as commercial banks

4.ORIGIN OF BANKS

6
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

The first bank was probably the religious temples of the ancient world were gold
was stored in the form of easy-to-carry compressed plates. Their owners justly felt
that temples were the safest place to store their as were constantly attented, well build
and were sacred, thus deterring would-be thieves. There are extent records of loans
from the 18th century BC in bebylon that were made by temple priests to merchants.

Ancient Greece holds further evidence of banking. Greek temples as well as


private and civic entities conducted financial transactions civic entities conducted
financial transactions such as loans, deposit coinage. There is evidence too of credit,
whereby in return for a payment from a client, a moneylender in one Greek port
would write a credit note for the client who could ‘cash’ the note in another city.
Saving the d him on danger of carting coinage with him on his journey.

The origin of banking In India can be traced back to almost to the Vedic
period. The transformation from pure money lending to proper banking appears to
have taken place before the times of menu. Manu a great Hindu jurist, had devoted a
section of his work explaining the deposits and advances and he even laid down
certain rules on rates of interest.

Through out mauruyan period and later on desi bankers played some
role in the economy of the country. However, it was during the Moghul period that
indigenous bankers started playing a vital role in lending money and financing of the
foreign trade and commerce.

5. IMPORTANTS OF Banking System

The structure of banking system differs from country to country depending upon their
economic conditions, political structure, and financial system. Banks can be classified on
the basis of the volume of operation business pattern and areas of operations. They are
termed as a system of banking. The commonly identified systems are:

Unit Banking

7
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

Unit banking is originated and developed in the U.S.A. In this system, small independent
banks are functioning in a limited area or in a single town . It has its own board of
directors and stockholders. It is also called as “localized Banking”.

Branch Banking

The Banking system of England originally offered an example of the branch banking
system, where each commercial bank has a network of branches spread throughout the
country.

Correspondent Banking

The correspondent banking system is developed to remove the difficulties in the unit
banking system. The smaller bank deposit their cash reserve with bigger banks.

Therefore, correspondent banks are intermediaries through which all unit banks are
linked with bigger banks in financial centers. Through correspondent banking, a bank
can carry-out business transactions in another place where it does not have a branch.

Group Banking

Group Banking is the system in which two or more independently incorporated banks
are brought under the control of a holding company.The holding company may or may
not be a banking company. Under group banking, the individual banks may be unit
banks, or banks operating branches or a combination of the two.

Pure Banking and Mixed Banking

On the basis of lending operations of the bank, banking is classified into:


(a) Pure Banking
(b) Mixed Banking
(a) Pure Banking: Under pure Banking, the commercial banks give only short-term loans
to industry, trade, and commerce. They specialize in short-term finance only. This type

8
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

Of banking is popular in U.K.


(b) Mixed Banking: Mixed banking is that system of banking under which the
commercial ban s perform the dual function of commercial banking and investment
banking. Commercial banks usually offer both short-term as well as medium-term loans.
The German banking system is the best example of mixed Banking.

Relationship Banking

It refers to the efforts of a bank to promote personal contacts and to keep continuous
touch with customers who are very valuable to the bank. In order to retain such
profitable accounts with the bank or to attract new accounts, it is necessary for the bank
to serve their needs by maintaining a close relationship with such customers.

Narrow Banking

A bank may be concentrating only on the collection of deposits and lend or invest the
money within a particular region or certain chosen activity like investing the funds only
in Government Securities. This type of restricted minimum banking activity is referred to
as ‘Narrow Banking’.

Universal Banking

As Narrow Banking refers to restricted and limited banking activity Universal Banking
refers to broad-based and comprehensive banking activities.

Regional Banking

In order to provide adequate and timely credits to small borrowers in rural and semi-
urban areas, Central Government set up Regional Banks, known as Regional Rural
Banks all over India jointly with State Governments and some Commercial Banks.

Local Area Banks

With a view to bringing about a competitive environment and to overcome the


deficiencies of Regional Banks, Government has permitted the establishment of one type

9
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

of regional banks in rural and semi-urban centers under private sector known as “Local
Area Banks”.

Wholesale Banking

Wholesale or corporate banking refers to dealing with limited large-sized customers.


Instead of maintaining thousands of small accounts and incurring huge transaction costs,
under wholesale banking, the banks deal with large customers and keep only large

accounts. These are mainly corporate customer.

Private Banking

Private or Personal Banking is banking with people — rich individuals instead of


banking with corporate clients. It attends to the need of individual customers, their
preferences and the products or services needed by them. This may include all-around
personal services like maintaining accounts, loans, foreign currency requirements,
investment guidance, etc.

Retail Banking

Retail banking is a major form of commercial banking but mainly targeted to consumers
rather than corporate clients. It is the method of banks’ approach to the customers for
sale of product.

Law of banking

4 Law of banking [3] Banking law is based on a contractual analysis of the


relationship between the bank and customer—defined as any entity for which the
bank agrees to conduct an account.

10
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

The law implies rights and obligations into this relationship as follows: • The bank
account balance is the financial position between the bank and the customer: when the
account is in credit, the bank owes the balance to the customer; when the account is
overdrawn, the customer owes the balance to the bank. • The bank agrees to pay the
customer's cheques up to the amount standing to the credit of the customer's account,
plus any agreed overdraft limit. • The bank may not pay from the customer's account
without a mandate from the customer, e.g

. cheques drawn by the customer. • The bank agrees to promptly collect the
cheques deposited to the customer's account as the customer's agent, and to credit the
proceeds to the customer's account.

The bank has a right to combine the customer's accounts, since each account is
just an aspect of the same credit relationship. The bank has a lien on cheques
deposited to the customer's account, to the extent that the customer is indebted to the
bank.

The bank must not disclose details of transactions through the customer's
account—unless the customer consents, there is a public duty to disclose, the bank's
interests require it, or the law demands it. The bank must not close a customer's
account without reasonable notice, since cheques are outstanding in the ordinary
course of business for several days. These implied contractual terms may be modified
by express agreement between the customer and the bank. The statutes and
regulations in force within a particular jurisdiction may also modify the above terms
and/or create new rights, obligations or limitations relevant to the bank-customer
relationship.

1 Scheduled Bank:

A scheduled bank is a bank that is listed under the second scheduled of the
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. Under this schedule of the RBI Act, banks have to
fulfill certain conditions such as having a paid up capital and reserves of at least 0.5
million.

18
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

Scheduled banks are further classified into commercial and cooperative banks.
The basic difference between scheduled commercial banks and cooperative banks are

Scheduled Commercial Bank (SCB):

Scheduled commercial banks are categorized into the five groups based on their
ownership or their nature of operations. State bank of India and its six associates are
recognized as a separate category of scheduled commercial banks, because of distinct

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

20
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

The financing of higher education in India fits well in the overall development
strategy and economic policy of the country. India's higher education sector evolved
and grew with the strong support of public funds during the period called Nehruvian
model of development. By and large, this model of development was applied across
all the Indian states. In fact, governments owned, established and operated educational
institutions everywhere. These institutes were funded by the government and charged
very nil or low fees and funds from the students. The scenario has changed drastically
during the last about a decade and half. As a result, the whole gamut of financing
higher education has changed in India, which gave a central role for the private sector.
Indeed, it had happened under the nose of new economic policy initiated since the
1990s. Numerous studies are available about the financing of education in the country
both during the pre- and post-reforms periods. It highlights the issues related to the
various aspects of educational financing such as the problems faced by educational
loan aspirants and financiers, role of Governments, educational institutions etc.
However, literature reviewed here are grouped into two different categories i.e.,
studies related to India and studies related countries other than India.

Studies Related to India

The cost of education has attracted researchers' attention at the very early stage. These
studies deal with the national education sector as well as that of the individual states
of the country.

Ravi F. H., (1960)1 had examined the pattern of expenditure on higher education
against the backdrop of economic development and opined that the proportion for
total expenditure allocated to higher education was much below the expected level of
investment and concluded that under financing create burden to the government and
higher education beneficiary groups.

Pillai and Nair (1962)2 made an attempt to study the history and problems of
educational finance in Kerala state. The study suggested that additional public
resources should be generated on large scale in order to finance the continuously

21
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

rising demands for the education in the state at all levels. Even, the Education
Commission (1964-66) had strongly argued for devoting 6 per cent of GNP to the
education sector by taking into account the numerous parameters like cost of
education, teacher-student ratio, educational requirements of the country and
financing policies adopted in other countries.

Panchamukhi’s (1965)3 study estimated the total cost of education for the period
1950-51 to 1959-60 and concluded that total cost of education constituted 6.2 per cent
of GNP in 1959-60. The study also calculated the various components of private and
institutional costs of education, foregone earnings for males and females, village and
town pupil separately. The study estimated that foregone earnings constituted major
proportion of total factor cost of education. The total cost of education was found to
be between 5 per cent and 6.5 per cent of national income in 1960-61.

4
Pandit (1969) measured the unit cost of education and efficiency of educational
expenditure. The study illustrated the total cost of education into three categories such
as institutional cost, students' cost and opportunity cost.

In the study conducted by Shah (1969)5 analyzed the unit cost of higher education.
The study has divided the cost of education into two main components: (a) social cost,
(b) opportunity cost. Social cost is again divided into student cost and institutional
cost. In student cost, there is a possibility of double counting in fee and scholarship
because at one time it is the income of the institution and at the same time it is also the
part of institutional cost. Further, it is also found that there is different unit cost of
education of hostellers and day-scholars. Institutional cost can be divided into two
parts, recurring cost and non-recurring cost. In non-recurring cost, the main
components of cost are capital (land on rent and building) and equipment and in
recurring cost they are divisible and non-divisible. The study also suggests that the
recurring cost and expenditure should be done very carefully.

Rao (1969)6 discussed the economic aspect of the education. In order to study the cost
of education, he adopted several approaches. In one approach, the main component
was the cost borne by the students. In other approach, it has divided into three parts:
(i) institutional cost, (ii) student's cost and (iii) opportunity cost.

22
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

Kulkarni's study (1969)7 also estimated the unit cost of education from the period
1962-66 at current prices. It showed that the change in pupil-teacher ratio affects the
unit cost of education. The decline in pupil-teacher ratio increases the workload of the
teachers in turn leads to higher teacher turnover ratio.

Dutt (1969)8 measured the source of financing of 28 colleges of Haryana which


includes four state colleges and 24 private colleges categorized under three headings
as the state colleges, private women colleges and other private colleges. The various
sources of financing of higher education was found to be: (i) fee income; (ii)
government grants (State, UGC, and local bodies); (iii) other sources (fines, sale of
prospectus, etc.); and (iv) funds given by the governing bodies. In all colleges, sources
of income were very much different. In the state colleges, the main contributor was
the state government. The private women colleges depend mainly upon state
grantsin-aids, and other private colleges depend upon the fees and funds and the UGC
grants, if any. After the government grants, among the private sources, the major
contributor was fees and funds paid by the students.

Sharma (1969)9 highlighted the significance of unit costs in the educational planning
process. The study considered the nature and different types of unit costs required at
different levels of education with special reference to Indian conditions, the nature of
available statistics, their coverage gap and their limitations. A method has been
developed to measure the cost per student at different levels. Various suggestions
were available for improvements in the methodology for the estimation of costs.

Mathur (1974)10, in his study on Kerala University during 1970-71, found that the
receipts from examination, which was initially a source of income, later became a
major item of heavy expenditure of the university. The expenditure on science
departments was nearly double than that of the funds spent on the humanities. The
expenditure on administration head alone was 19 per cent in 1970-71. And, over the
time period, overall expenditure of university increased by 17 per cent per year.

Jha (1974)11 while studying the financial behavior of the Patna University concluded
that government grants is the main source of finance. The study also noted that in
1964-65, the state government itself had faced a deficit of funds due to the lack weak

23
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

tax collections. This situation reduced the flow of funds to the coffers of university.
The study also highlighted failure of the finance committee to function properly due
to the lack of financial rules.

12
Nigam (1975) examined the main source of finance of University of Rajasthan and
their relative importance. The study also dealt with adequacy of finance, expenditure
incurred under different heads, and difficulties faced by the university due to lack of
finance. The study found that per capita availability of educational facilities, in real
terms, does not fall either due to rise in enrollment ratio or inflation, which affects the
facilities of the supply of laboratories or libraries. It recommended the creation of
state level body like the UGC to settle financial issues in order to stabilize per capita
educational facilities in real terms.

Nanjundappa (1975)13 described the Karnataka University's finances with special


reference to growth of revenue and behavior of various revenue components during
1972-73. It was found that the state government financed up to 54 per cent and
income from fees and funds collected from students contributed up to 35 per cent.
Moreover, per capita expenditure of state on education was just ₹ 80 in 1949-50 and
rose to ₹ 3,306 in 1972-73. At the university level, there was enormous increase in the
expenditure, especially in the academic departments, but still the grants of teaching
staff were only 13 per cent. He reported a continuously rising gap between the cost of
higher education and fees charged in Karnataka University. In order to eliminate this
gap, Nanjundappa suggested (i) state grants must be increased in higher education; (ii)
a rise in fees and funds from beneficiaries; (iii) introduction of indirect methods of
financing such as student loans, which would be beneficial for both students as well as
society.

Mukerjee’s (1976)14 study attempted to throw the light on the pattern of income and
expenditure of the Calcutta University. He found that the administrative expenditures of
the Calcutta University alone constituted about 30 per cent between 1948-49 and 1969-
70. The salaries to teachers cornered between 13.12 per cent and 18.76 per cent of
expenditure. The study illustrated that organization of trust and endowments funds to
finance university expenditure are the best option in the long run to sustain finances.

24

Mathew (1980)15 showed a detailed analysis of the receipts and expenditures of


Kerala University for the year 1974-85. Out of total revenue of ₹ 192.2 lakh, ₹ 95.5
lakh (50 per cent) were accounted by the examination fee and ₹ 80.8 lakh (42 per
cent) by the public grants. Further, the bulk of public grants (80 per cent) came from
the state government. Out of total expenditure of ₹ 229.1 lakh, 25.6 per cent were
incurred on general administration, ₹ 53.1 lakh (32.2 per cent) on the examination
work and ₹ 42.1 lakh (18.3 per cent) on the departments for study and research.
Faculty-wise, the humanities spent, on the average, ₹ 1.3 lakh per department and
science departments ₹ 2.7 lakh.

Subrahmanyam (1982) 16 studied the financing pattern of the Andhra University and
found that its major sources of income (60 per cent) were the internal sources.
However, across the non-academic income sources, major contributors were the press,
publications, and interest on corpus fund.
Further, on the expenditure side, major proportion of funds was consumed by the
teaching departments (40 per cent to 69 per cent).

Azad (1984)17 critically analyzed the pattern of grants to the higher education sector in
Andhra Pradesh. The major sources of grants were the government grants, followed
by the revenue generated through fees and funds. It divides the pattern of state grants
into the general and professional education. In general education, major heads of
grants were the maintenance, building and equipment grants; while in professional
education, the maintenance and building grants constitute the major component.

Mridula (1985)18 analyzed the sources of financing universities' maintenance grants.


The study based on a large number of state universities found that the main source of
financing maintenance expenditure was the UGC's grants and the majority of these
grants were in the form of the block grants.

Mathew (1991)19 analyzed, in detail, the source of funds of private colleges in Kerala
for the period 1972-86. The analysis was made on the basis of sample data collected
from 25 arts and science colleges spread over the state. The study found that, among
the institutional sources of finance, grants from the state constituted more than 90 per
cent. However, of the non-institutional sources of finance, donations emerged as the

25
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

most important component of finance of private colleges in Kerala. The study called
for strengthening of the finances of colleges in the private sector.

Varghese (1991)20, in his research work illustrated that the cost-recovery from
beneficiaries implies a reduction in the public subsidies to higher education sector.
This could be done by shifting the incidence of financial burden either to the
beneficiaries (students) or to their users (employers). Student loans, graduate tax and
enhancing fees were other suggestions in this regard.
Jadhyala B.G Tilak (1992)21 described the details of the student loan scheme
prescribed in India, its strengths and weaknesses, and also suggested some marginal
improvements for the betterment of educational loans .

The study carried out by Sharma (1992)22 illustrated the major sources of funding of
university education in India. These sources are the central government, the state
governments, the University Grants Commission (UGC), the Indian Council of
Agriculture Research (ICAR) and other public and private agencies. The funds are in
the form of grants-in-aid, development assistance from the UGC and ICAR, fees and
funds, income from moveable and immovable property, and sale of university
publications and farm produce. The endowment funds were the sources of finance of
university institutions. Further, grants-in-aid made by the central, state and other
authorities to an institution to run their activities in order to improve them and to start
new programme for further development and growth. These grants were given to the
university institution in the form of (i) matching share of development grant by UGC;
(ii) grants in the form of committed expenditure under the non-plan heads by either of
the system, namely, the deficit grants or block grants.

Tilak and Varghese (1992)23 studied the student loan scheme in India and considered
some of its problems. They made a detailed comparison between loan and other
alternatives methods of funding higher education in India.

Punnayya Committee (1993)24 highlighted many diversified and new ways of


funding of universities in the country. For instance, it recommended: (i) maintenance
grants, dearness allowance, etc., to be provided by the government; (ii) subsidies on
many items of the maintenance grants to be reduced and maintenance grants to be

26
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

stabilized at a certain acceptable level; (iii) maintenance grants to be based on unit


costs; (iv) universities to mobilize funds - at least 15 per cent of the total recurring
expenditure at the end of the first five years and 25 per cent at the end of next ten
years; (v) creation of corpus funds to meet infrastructure development; (vi) increase in
student fee keeping in view the rate of inflation; (vii) scholarships to at least 20 per
cent of students; and (viii) soft loans and scholarships from the nationalized banks.
The commission advises simplifying the process of federal student aid as one
program, which includes the three aspects of grants, loans and workstudy. This
program should guarantee equal aid to all students. Further, it is suggested that the
low-income students should be given more grants and high-income students more
loans. At the same time, at state level, the commission warns against the
implementation of high tuition fee and low aid system.

Swaminadhan Committee (AICTE, 1994)25 looked into the possibilities of resource


mobilization in the case of technical education, essentially through cost-recovery
modes either from students or from elsewhere. The Committee's recommendation
includes: (i) the creation of corpus funds in the institutions; (ii) establishment of an
Educational Development Bank of India (EDBI) with an initial capital of ₹ 3000
crore; (iii) reducing the share of salaries in the recurring expenditure from the present
level of 80 per cent to 60 per cent; and (iv) enhancing fees to recover at least 20 per
cent of the recurring expenditure.

Natrajan (1995)26 analyzed the source of finance of university education and also the
use of funds. The analysis shows that the major sources of finance of universities were
the government grants, followed by fee income, and other sources. Development
grants were found to be spending both on capital and recurring items. Academic costs
absorbed the major proportion of total expenditure of the university. Among academic
fee income, examination related work entails major proportion of total expenditure. At
the same time, income from the endowments is decreasing. The study provides the
purposewise classification of income of the universities and suggests ways and means
to overcome the shortage of finance.

The research done by Dutt (1995)27, while estimating the various source of financing
of higher education for the period 1960-61 to 1976-77, showed that the government

27
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

funds (central, state, UGC, etc.) was the major source of finance. These funds
constituted 75 per cent of the total cost per student, followed by 13 per cent by the
fees. However, endowments and other sources cornered low share of 12 per cent.
Further, source-wise income per student at the university level, subsidy to education at
various levels, and recovery rates at different level of education has also been
evaluated. The analysis of 12 colleges of Delhi University shows that fee accounted
for only 5 per cent of total cost per student and the balance of 95 per cent was
contributed by the government/UGC and some receipts from the private trusts. The
subsidy per student was estimated to be equal to ₹ 4, 744.

Salim (1997)28 enquired about the extent of government subsidization of higher


education in Kerala state with special reference to students' socioeconomic
background. He found that all students, particularly the PG engineering students,
received a considerable amount of money by way of subsidies. The overwhelming
burden of financing of higher education has fallen on the state government.
Interestingly, government subsidization is high in the case of technical education. The
burden of government has been increasing year after year. And, no successful attempt
has been made by the government to enhance the tuition fees or to tap additional
resources for financing the mounting expenditure on higher education.

Majumdar Committee (1999)29, while analyzing the fiscal implications, came to the
conclusion that enhancing the share of investment to 6 per cent of the GNP would be
sufficient to provide adequate resources at all levels of the education system.

Joy Job Kulavelil (2000)30 has analyzed the objectives and nature of higher education
and resources mobility through funding diversification in Kerala private colleges and
made a comparison with some of the public colleges in Kerala. He criticized the idea
of financing higher education which is financed out of indirect taxes paid by the
disadvantaged group.
31
Raman Pillai T.N (2000) criticized the wrong financial management practices, the
manner in which grants are sanctioned and utilized, its allocation, release,
admissibility, non-admissibility and other related matters to sublimate government
support. It is suggested that the crisis can be eliminated with the participation from
various supportive and related industries, financial institution, or private agencies.

28
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

32
Varghese (2000) , advocates that the case for enhancing individuals’ contributions
to the rising costs of education and cautions against the use of marketing mechanisms
for raising educational resources due to their adverse implications on equity. The
principles on which public provision on higher education rests include its public good
nature having strong externalities and its merit good nature, as well as consideration
of equity and equality of opportunity.

Chauhar C.P.S (2000)33 has studied the extent of public and private funding. Most of
the money to maintain Universities at present is provided by the government from
public funds. He argued that the fee should be increased so as to cover at least 50 per
cent of the cost of general education.

P. Geetha Rani (2000)34 has made an analysis with a sample of around 40


Universities. There have been modest to steep increases in students' fees of various
types such as, tuition fees, examination fees, admission fees, registration fees,
entrance examination, hostel and miscellaneous services like application forms,
brochures and so on. Government grants to the Universities have declined or remained
stagnant in real prices, and sometimes even in current prices. In case of cost
recovering measures, particularly in fees, are increasingly resorted to in Universities.
However, she highlighted that majority of the Universities (as many as 20
Universities) have already increased their fees which covered more than 20 per cent of
their recurring income.

CHAPTER 4 : Data analysis and interpretation

33
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

Data Analysis and presentation of the data in quantitative research is usually more
unsophisticated based on the fact that statistical measurements are being used. Tables
and charts are used for the presentation of the data and the report can be structured
around these exhibits. While in qualitative research, it seems to be more difficult.
When analyzing qualitative information, the researcher engages in an in-depth
investigation and subjectively interprets the data, in order to explain much of the
variation in the field of study.

In this study researcher has selected two banks i.e. SBI from public sector and HDFC
from private sector bank of Rajkot district of Gujarat State. In order to examine the
views of customers regarding Online Banking Services provided by the banks, two
types of structured questionnaire were designed for collection of the primary data.

The questionnaire was prepared for -

I) The bank‟s customers; who are Users of Online Banking Services,

II) The bank‟s customers; who are Non – Users of online banking
services.

Data has been collected from customers who were users and non – users of electronic
banking. Thus in accordance with the study the data collected was interpreted and
analyzed which include: to establish the relationship between technology and
service quality in banking industry and to determine the factors that lead to
customer preference of different electronic banking channels.

I) Questionnaire for Users of Online Banking Services

34
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

The present study seeks to identify the extent of preferences of E-Banking


over traditional banking among service class. The research design is exploratory in
nature. The research has been conducted on various class people. For the selection of
the sample, convenient sampling method was adopted and an attempt has been made
to include all the age groups and gender within the various

classes.

Questionnaire was used to collect primary data from respondents. The questionnaire
was structured type and contained questions relating to different dimensions of
E-banking preferences among service class such as level of usage, factors influencing
the usage of E - banking services, benefits accruing to the users of E-banking
services, problems encountered. An attempt was also made to elicit reasons for its
non-usage with a structured questionnaire.

The sample size for Users of Online Banking Services is restricted to 300
respondents. Out of them 135 customers of SBI and 165 customers of HDFC

Bank are randomly selected.

II) Questionnaire for Non - Users of Online Banking Services

In fact, effective use of online banking services is essential in today‟s advanced era to
save time and money. To study the adoption aspect of Online Banking Services, it
was decided to collect information and views from the Non-Users of Online Banking
Services.

While for Non – Users the sample size is restricted to 50. These customers were met
personally to get acquainted with their view-points related to need, uses, internet
connectivity, security of Online Banking Services, their general impression & training
status regarding Online Banking Services and their suggestions regarding any
technological advancement in Online Banking

35
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

Services etc.

This enabled the researcher to get the mixed perceptions of the two groups in
the usage of various electronic channels.

(I) Analysis of Questionnaire for Users of Online Banking Services

In this study researcher has selected 300 respondents. Out of them 135 customers of
SBI and 165 customers of HDFC Bank who are actively using Online

Services.

The sampling pattern has been shown in the table 4.1

Table 4.2 represents total Male customers are 183 of which 108 belong to SBI and 75
belong to HDFC. While total female customers are 117 of which 27 belongs to SBI
and 90 belongs to HDFC. The respondent found that ratio of female customer is less
as compared to Male. It might be due to the differences in saving account schemes.

The chi-square values are used to test the significance of association between
two attributes. The results so obtained are tabulated based on their specific factors.

Further calculations are as follows:

because they are less interested to fulfill questionnaire due to their busy schedule and
they rarely visit branch, they generally operate their whole a/c activities through

1. Introduction OF SBI

The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of
the nineteenth century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2

75
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

June 1806. Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the
Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock
bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay
(15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal.
These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their
amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.

Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into


existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs
of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary
manner to modernize India's economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas
culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by
changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in
the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global
economic framework.

Establishment

The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability,
joint-stock banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the
decision to allow the Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for
payment of public revenues within a restricted geographical area. This right of note
issue was very valuable not only for the Bank of Bengal but also its two siblings, the
Banks of Bombay and Madras

It meant an accretion to the capital of the banks, a capital on which the


proprietors did not have to pay any interest. The concept of deposit banking was also

76
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

an innovation because the practice of accepting money for safekeeping (and in some
cases, even investment on behalf of the clients) by the indigenous bankers had not
spread as a general habit in most parts of India. But, for a long time, and especially up
to the time that the three presidency banks had a right of note issue,

bank notes and government balances made up the bulk of the investible resources
of the banks.

The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time
to time. Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately
subscribed and the rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the
board of directors, which managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary
directors representing the large European managing agency houses in India.

The rest were government nominees, invariably civil servants, one of whom was
elected as the president of the board.

Business

The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of


exchange or other negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving
deposits and issuing and circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs.one lakh
and the period of accommodation confined to three months only. The security for
such loans was public securities, commonly called Company's Paper, bullion,
treasure, plate, jewels, or goods 'not of a perishable nature' and no interest could be
charged beyond a rate of twelve per cent

Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woollens, cotton, cotton piece goods,
mule twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of cash credits

77
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

gained momentum only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All
commodities, including tea, sugar and jute, which began to be financed later, were
either pledged or hypothecated to the bank.

Demand promissory notes were signed by the borrower in favor of the


guarantor, which was in turn endorsed to the bank. Lending against shares of the
banks or on the mortgage of houses, land or other real property was, however,
forbidden.

Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company's paper, while
the business of discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive
monopoly of individuals Europeans and their partnership firms.

But the main function of the three banks, as far as the government was concerned,
was to help the latter raise loans from time to time and also provide a degree of
stability to the prices of government securities.

A major change in the conditions of operation of the Banks of Bengal, Bombay


and Madras occurred after 1860. With the passing of the Paper Currency Act of 1861,
the right of note issue of the presidency banks was abolished and the Government of

78
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

India assumed from 1 March 1862 the sole power of issuing paper currency within
British India.

The task of management and circulation of the new currency notes was
conferred on the presidency banks and the Government undertook to transfer the
Treasury balances to the banks at places where the banks would open branches.

None of the three banks had till then any branches (except the sole attempt and
that too a short-lived one by the Bank of Bengal at Mirzapore in 1839) although the
charters had given them such authority. But as soon as the three presidency bands
were assured of the free use of government Treasury balances at places where they
would open branches, they embarked on branch expansion at a rapid pace.

By 1876, the branches, agencies and sub agencies of the three presidency banks
covered most of the major parts and many of the inland trade centers in India.

While the Bank of Bengal had eighteen branches including its head office,
seasonal branches and sub agencies, the Banks of Bombay and Madras had fifteen
each.

Imperial Bank

The Imperial Bank during the three and a half decades of its existence recorded
an impressive growth in terms of offices, reserves, deposits, investments and
advances, the increases in some cases amounting to more than six-fold. The financial
status and security inherited from its forerunners no doubt provided a firm and
durable platform.

But the lofty traditions of banking which the Imperial Bank consistently maintained
and the high standard of integrity it observed in its operations inspired confidence in
its depositors that no other bank in India could perhaps then equal.

79
EDUCATIONAL FINANCE BY SBI

All these enabled the Imperial Bank to acquire a pre-eminent position in the
Indian banking industry and also secure a vital place in the country's economic life.
When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including
reserves) of Rs.11.85 crores, deposits and advances of Rs.275.14 crores and Rs.72.94
cores respectively and a network of 172 branches and more than 200 sub offices
extending all over the country.
