Introduction
India is the third largest salt producing country in the world (after the US and China) with an average annual production of about 148 lakh tones. In a very short period of time sufficiency was achieved (in 1953) and made a dent the export market. Since then, the country has never resorted to imports. Exports
touched an all time high of 1.6 million in the year 2001. The per-capita consumption of salt in the country is estimated at about 12 kg, which includes edible as well as industrial salt.

ANALYZING THE GAP BETWEEN MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION AND CUSTOMER PERCEPTION WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES OFFERED IN RETAIL BANKING BY DIFFERNET BANKS

PREFACE
Retail Banking has always been an integral part of the Banking activities the world over, but it is only in the recent past that it has gathered special momentum. Though internationally this revolution started in 80’s with the advent of credit cards followed by other products of retail financial services, yet, as far as India is concerned, the year 1995 marks the starting point of Retail Banking Revolution with Foreign Banks and new generation Private Banks taking the lead. Till 90’s only foreign Banks were the main players in Retail Banking activities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The report “Analyzing the Gap between Management Perception and Customer Perception With Respect To the Services Offered In Retail Banking” aims to assimilate data about the various aspects of Retail banking services, to analyze the perceptions of the management and the customers regarding the services offered in Retail banking and to find out whether any gaps do exist between the services offered and the customer expectations. We have taken 6 Banks which represent the Nationalized, Private and Multinational Banks of the Banking Industry in India-
=> SBI
=> Corporation Bank
=> HDFC Bank
=> ICICI Bank
=> Citibank
=> Standard Chartered Bank

The criteria for selecting these banks were their deposit base. We have limited our Service Category to the core services in Retail Banking and a few specialized services.
The report is a mixture of Secondary and Primary data, with Questionnaires being our major instrument to collect primary data.
Major topics we have attempted to cover in this project are to:
=> Explore the services and products offered by the banks to individual customers.
=> Understand the perception of the management with respect to services offered by banks.
=> Understand the perception of the customers with respect to services offered by banks.
=> Analyze whether there is a gap between the customer and management perceptions about the services offered by the banks.
=> Conclude and enumerate the recommendations that might help to reduce the gaps that exist and foster the relationship of the customer more with the bank.

The new game requires new strategies with an accent on innovation for organizational transformation and to achieve world-class competitiveness through improved efficiency and reduced operational cost.
An organization-centric agenda, policy, program accelerating interventions need to strengthen core competencies of Indian banks; while exploring seeding options for future growth.
Thrust on innovation is important particularly in the present context of consolidation and convergence both within and across segments of the financial system.

Study of Indian Scrap Industry with Special Focus on Channel Management & Integrated Scrap Management

Project Report on Scrap Industry
Scrap is a term used to describe recyclable materials left over from every manner of product consumption, such as parts of vehicles, building supplies, and surplus materials. Often confused with waste, scrap in fact has significant monetary value. Overall, the scrap industry processes more than 145,000,000 short tons (129,464,286 long tons; 131,541,787) of recyclable material each year into raw material feedstock for industrial manufacturing around the world.

The scarp industry is booming and it is a massive industry like steel industry. Most of scrap is recovered from old electric scrap, electronic equipment including computers, military equipment, jewelry etc. Scrap industry also covers the major recyclable materials, from metals to plastics, paper and pulp, rubber and glass.

The use of scrap instead of virgin ore has several advantages, significantly in energy savings. If one of the attractions of ferrous and nonferrous scrap is in energy savings, the other being price levels that are particularly attractive.

Not only the steel industry is large, but other base metals are also promising. In fact, around 40% of the world's need for copper is provided for by scrap. Using scrap not only reduces air pollution and water use, it also conserves natural resources. The greatest environmental benefit from using scrap, instead of virgin ore, is the reduction in greenhouse emissions. Recycling metals saves new energy use by the mining industry.

Whether or not base metal, there will always be a need for scrap metal. With energy looking to remain costly and concern for our environment set only to increase, scrap industry continue to remain crucial for almost all industries.

Scrap includes many things which are used and the waste of that used items is called as scrap. Considering the current ecological problems, the need for the recycling process development is


Must for energy saving as well as for the protection of the environment. Scrap includes Plastic waste, paper waste, steel and iron waste, electronic waste, biomedical waste, copper waste and many more such kind of verticals.

Generally scarp can be divided in to two parts.
1. Post Industrial scrap
2. Consumer Material scrap.
Post industrial scrap includes industrial waste such as copper, steel, iron etc. where in consumer material scrap includes the waste remained after the consumption of the particular material by the consumers.

In India scrap industry is still in nascent age and there are many opportunities lied in the Indian scrap industry. Properly organized model of integrated waste Management system can explore the new opportunities for the Indian scrap industry.

In India following types of scrap is recycled,
1. Metal scrap ( All kind of Metals)
2. Glass scrap (All kind of glasses)
3. Plastic scrap(All kind of plastic)
4. Paper scrap
5. Wooden scrap
6. Electronic scrap (computer, battery etc.)

The fundamental problem in the recycling is not having much of the scrap due to the improper network of the scrap collection and that’s why lots of waste is not converted in to the reusable form and scarp has to be exported from the foreign countries which affects the economy at large.

Though the recent government polices and need for environment friendly products the scrap and recycling market of India is going to boom like anything and immense opportunity is there for the growth of the nation and doing best out of the waste.
