Coalfield mine overburden or abandoned mine sites is a major environmental concern. Overburden materials are nutrient-poor, loosely adhered particles of shale, stones, boulders and cobbles and are devoid of true soil character. Eco-restoration or natural transformation of overburden materials to soil for cultivation is a time taking process. In the present study, we focused on how the OB materials are different from nearby natural soil and explored the characterization of physical, chemical and biological properties of different aged overburden undergoing the process of eco-restoration. Further, we have analysed various microbial population, enzymatic activities and microbial respiration process in different aged overburdens vis-a-vis nearby soil. Microbial population was more in 16 year old overburden among different aged OB but less than nearby soil. Dehydrogenase, Urease activity showed an increasing trend with maturity age of overburden representing higher microbial population, while alkaline phosphatase activity is not following any trend. Soil microbial respiration was found to be increased with age of overburden. Carbon mineralization rate constant in all overburden lied in a narrow range (0.020-0.011) day-1 and it did not show any significant variation as compared to native forest soil (0.03 day-1). Mineralizable carbon was found more in native soil (7.95 mg C/kg of overburden) and 16 year old overburden (5.56 mg C/kg of overburden). Cumulative CO2 evolved was more in native forest soil (8.67 mg C/kg), and was comparable with 16 year old overburden (5.4 mg C/ kg). Microbial population, enzymatic activity and carbon mineralization can act as an indicator for analysing changes in overburden spoil properties due to ecorestoration.Keywords

Today a large portion of the keeping money occurs while you are tasting espresso or accepting a vital call. ATMs are at your doorstep. Keeping money administrations are open 24x7. There are more plastic cards in your wallet than cash notes. A gigantic piece of this change is because of the appearance of IT. Banks today work in a much globalized, changed, privatized and a focused domain. Keeping in mind the end goal to get by in this condition banks need to utilize IT. Indian saving money industry has seen huge advancements because of far-reaching developments that are occurring in the data innovation. Electronic saving money has risen up out of such a creative advancement. The target of the present paper is to think about and dissect the advancement made by Indian keeping money industry in the reception of innovation. The investigation is auxiliary based and diagnostic in nature. The advancement in e-saving money in Indian managing an accounting industry is estimated through different parameters, for example, Computerization of branches, Automated Teller Machines, Transactions through Retail Electronic Payment Methods and so on. Measurable and scientific instruments, for example, basic development rate, rates, and midpoints and so forth are utilized. The paper additionally features the difficulties looked by Indian banks in an appropriation of innovation and proposals are made to handle these difficulties. The paper reasons that in years to come e-managing an account won’t just be an adequate method of keeping money however favored method of saving money.Keywords
