Although the concept of green finance is at nascent stage in India yet it has acquired tremendous attention in modern financial market. Lack of interest from the investors and ineffective policies of government have brought the scope of green finance down in India. But in recent few years the real prospective and importance of green finance is being recognized by the investors. A number of research papers exist particularly on green finance and relation with its stakeholders. Researchers are doing brilliant work in this area. In this paper we review the current scenario of Green finance and try to find out current research directions based on the recently published work on green finance. This review enables us to know the mature area of research and area that needs future exploration. Eventually we highlight the current and future research area and present a critical analysis on green finance

Nanoparticles (NPs) are miniature materials ranging from 1 to 100 nm. The NPs have unique chemical and physical properties due to their shape, size and high surface area. This research paper gives a detailed summary of the synthesis, characterization and applications of undoped and (Ag, Fe) co-doped CuO NPs with a diverse concentration of Fe (0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 M) at a constant concentration of Ag (0.02 M). X-ray diffractometer (XRD) results revealed average crystallite size of NPs varies in the range 13.10-24.98 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed that the morphology of pure synthesized CuO NPs and Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) recognized the presence of Ag, Fe elements in the CuO lattice. The particle size obtained by transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) images was found in the range 19.73-21.47 nm. Cu-O bond stretching of NPs was also confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. The values of direct and indirect band gap for CuO were found to be 1.41-1.54 eV and 0.69-1.51 eV respectively.  Antibacterial activity for synthesized NPs tested against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. The photocatalytic properties of synthesized NPs were investigated by monitoring the methyl orange/methylene blue degradation in ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis).

Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Copper(II) and Manganese(II) complexes, having the general composition {M(L)2X2}, have been synthesized [where L= bis(pyridine-2-carbo) hydrazide(L), and X = Cl–]. All the Metal complexes reported here have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moments, IR, electronic and mass spectral studies. All the complexes were found to have magnetic moments corresponding to unpaired electrons. The possible geometries of the complexes were assigned on the basis of electronic and infrared spectral studies. On the basis of molar conductance values the complexes show 1:2 electrolytic nature. Newly synthesized ligand and its Metal complexes have been screened againstStaphylococcus aureus(ATCC 25923),Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 3160) bacterial species andCandida albicans(227) and Staphylococcus cereviscae (361) fungal species.
