Eradication of abject poverty through the financial literacy was aimed to be accomplished under the armoury of Micro-Finance. Financial Literacy for the economically Marginalised people in India have been the core of concern under the perspective of micro- economy. Micro-Finance has been coined a paramount important tool to combat the social evil particularly the mother of social evils called poverty. But owing to the anamolities of different structural loop holes there has been a concern of cloud appears over the process and financial health and hygiene of micro-finance in India. Micro credit in terms of repayment from the borrowers has over shadows the natural flow of Micro-Finance operation across the entire Micro-Finance companies. This hermeneutics study strive to open the logjam of this non-payment mechanism to foster the capital infusion that leads to capacity of lending and further strengthen the micro credit fabrics for holistic social empowerment. In modern times, when globalization, economic liberalization brings the world trade into a single converging point, multi disciplinary role became more dynamic and multi-dimensional to cater the need for each others.

Abstract

Pavonia zeylanica Linn. (Family: Malvaceae) commonly known as Sittramutti (Tamil) is an herb distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, and also found abundantly in India. It has considerable reputation as a potent medicament in the treatment of various ailments such as inflammation, fever and toothache. The antiinflammatory effect of the leaves of P. zeylanica, was evaluated using carrageenan induced paw oedema and cotton pellet induced granuloma (chronic) in rat models. The extract was also evaluated by hot plate and acetic acid induced abdominal constriction assay to assess analgesic activity. The alcoholic extract of P. zeylanica (AEPZ) exhibited significant (P < 0.01) anti-inflammatory effect at the dose 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg. Maximum inhibition 46.16 % was noted at the dose of 200 mg/kg after 3 h of drug treatment in carrageenan induced paw oedema, whereas the Indomethacin 10 mg/kg (standard drug) produced 65.38 % of inhibition. In the chronic model (cotton pellet induced granuloma) the AEPZ (200 mg/kg) and standard drug showed decreased formation of granuloma tissue by 40.30 % and 67.20 % (P < 0.01) respectively. The extract also found to possess antinociceptive activity against acetic acidinduced writhing and hot plate reaction in mice. In acetic acid-induced abdominal constriction assay ) the AEPZ (200 mg/kg) and standard drug aspirin showed reduction in abdominal constriction by 47.64% and 62.38% (P < 0.01) respectively.Thus, the present study revealed that the alcoholic extract of P. zeylanica exhibited significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity in the tested models.
