Climate change has become a systemic risk to financial stability and banks have become important actors in risk mitigation and sustainable development. This paper discusses how the functions of Indian commercial banks and development finance institutions, especially NABARD and SIDBI have changed in the context of coping with climate-related financial risks. Institutions, that is, NABARD and SIDBI, in the context of coping with climate-related financial risks. Based on the panel data between 2012 and 2022, the analysis employs both econometric modeling and stress testing to measure the effect physical risks on major performance indicators, such as return on assets (ROA), non-performing assets (NPAs), and credit disbursement patterns, such as extreme weather events and transition risks (e.g., policy changes and carbon pricing). Results show that commercial banks have begun to build in ESG criteria and climate-sensitive lending behaviours, but nonetheless face considerable exposure to physical climate shocks and especially in the areas of agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. Conversely, development banks are becoming more resilient and oriented in proactive direction to finance long-term adaption and green infrastructure. Are becoming more resilient and have a proactive orientation toward long-term financing adaptation and green infrastructure. Nevertheless, there are still issues related to standardization of the data, climate risk disclosure and harmonization of the regulations as to the data standardization, climate risk disclosure, and harmonization of regulations. This study sheds light on the comparative effectiveness of the strategies by climate risks in Indian banking sector and the necessity to have a concerted policy action, capacity, and blended finance models to harmonize banking practices to national climate objectives.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of social support for everyone. Supports from relatives, neighbors, and friends are more significant for a job seeker, especially during the pandemic. Accordingly, the present study explored the psychometric properties of the Perceived Social Support for Job Search Activities Scale (PSS-JSAS) in the Indian context with the help of two independent samples. First sample of 518 respondents was randomly divided into two subsamples using the random case selection feature in the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed on the first subsample, which yielded a one-factor model explaining 47.23% of variations. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) conducted on the second subsample concluded a good model fit of PSS-JSAS. In the second sample, Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability values (greater than 0.70) established the scale's reliability. Results also revealed that the correlation coefficients between PSS-JSAS score, hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism were 0.470, 0.552, 0.621, and 0.5 at p < 0.01. It also revealed a negative association with job search anxiety scores (r = −0.549, p < 0.01). Thus, PSS-JSAS was positively associated with PsyCap and negatively correlated with job search anxiety behaviors. It concluded the criterion validity of PSS-JSAS in the Indian context. Multigroup factor analysis concludes that the scale is equally valid for both Indian males and females. Hence, results reported adequate reliability and validity of the scale in the Indian context. These findings will encourage future researchers to investigate the phenomena of social support in the job search.

The handicraft business constitutes concept selling rather than mere product selling, which is highly dependent on demand. Handicrafts' Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have an expanding market in developed countries. The impact of the pandemic on this industry is severe due to the industry's informal nature and seasonal demand. The survival and resilience of these handicraft MSMEs face many challenges in the post-COVID-19 outbreak. The focus of the present study is to understand and analyze the key challenges for building resilience in handicraft MSMEs by scrutinizing the existing literature and interactions with stakeholders. EFA and the Grey DEMATEL approach are used to analyze the challenges for the adoption of resilience. EFA is used to categorize the challenges into various dimensions. The study has divided the challenges for the inclusion of resilience into survivable, sustainable, and viable categories using EFA to plan for short- and long-term business growth. Grey DEMATEL is being utilized for understanding these contextual relationships for each resilience dimension. Grey systems theory is a methodology that enables the incorporation of improbability and vagueness into the analysis. Findings of the study revealed the influencing challenges for each of the dimensions such as competition from machine-made products, insufficient government support and incentives for export, and inefficient managerial concern and response to internationalization as the prominent challenges. The results of this study illustrate the causal relationships amongst the identified resilience challenges to the various stakeholders. These findings offer practical insights for the government to allocate resources and impose measures to ensure resilience, as well as understanding the cause-effect relationship. Managerial implications and Policy insights for building the resilience of handicraft MSMEs are discussed in detail.
