THE IMPACT OF THE COMMERCIAL BANK ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SME BUSINESSES TURKEY[ ]


The study is to analyse the impact of commercial banks on the SMEs performance in Turkey. SMEs make up a large part of the economies of both developed and developing countries. They promote economic progress by opening new positions and supporting changing monetary and social eventualities. It is assumed that commercial banks provide financial support to SMEs through their brokering activities. Previous researchers recognized the lack of cash as a threat to small and medium-sized businesses. In order for SMEs to have an impact on the economy, they need adequate financial resources for their needs. Most of the commercial bank’s praise for improving SMEs in business is widely recognized. Commercial banks help provide credit by receiving from a depositor who doesn’t urgently need that money and passing it as a credit to investors who have wonderful ideas or strategies to add extra generosity to the economy but don’t have the necessary capital to execute these ideas.

Identification and Prevention of crops disease using AIML[ ]


Agriculture is the back bone of India. According to 2021 report 58% of Indian population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Agriculture shares 19.9 per cent of the Indian GDP. Surprisingly though agriculture share 19.9% of the Indian GDP there is no or very little intervention/use of computer-based technology. The agricultural output per acre in much less compared to the international output. The major reason for this is 1.) Poor disease management of the crop and 2.) Non proper use of fertilizer leading to nutritional deficiency in the crop and further exposing the crop to pest infestation/disease.
