“A Study of investment awareness and avenues especially through banks with reference to Ichalkaranji City”

Investors have a lot many options and avenues to park their savings. The risk and returns available differ from each other. It is much common that the investors expect more returns with preferring lesser risks. The available information relating to the investors’ behaviour towards investment avenues is very little and failed to provide a lot of information particularly in small towns. Banks provide major ways of investments. But then how much of awareness about investments through banks is there in small cities like Ichalkaranji is a question. Thus, an attempt has been made in this study to find out the main objective of the investors in Ichalkaranji towards making investments and to assess the investors’ attitude towards the investment avenues particularly through banks.
