The technologically sound students of today are open and very much inclined to adopt new modes of knowledge transfer inclusive of online classes. However, there are various viewpoints related to the aspect of online classes as not much of comparative studies on real classes and online classes have been carried out in Bahrain. Therefore, the need for a research study to find out the merits and demerits of real classes and online classes was identified. The objective of the study was to find out the reasons behind the preference of a class of HRM students of Gulf University, Kingdom of Bahrain with respect to the mode of its imparting – whether it is the real classes or online classes. A class of a HRM course was taken as a sample with the same faculty handling real classes before the midterm exam and online classes after midterm exam so that analysis could be carried out on the responses of the same set of students exposed to both the modes of teaching imparted by the same teacher. With an exhaustive literature review to trace the emergence of online classes and the impact of the same on the current generation, the study recorded the students’ responses in the form of a survey questionnaire. The quantitative analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and the variables were tested for the significance of the relationship using the Pearson Chi-Square test. The findings implicitly confirm that the students are comfortable with both real classes and online classes as far as the instructor is efficient to use appropriate pedagogies and digital tools to support learning.

The co-operative banks originated in the west, but they have assumed importance in India because of their vast network which is rarely paralleled anywhere else in the world. Their role in rural financing continues to be important even today and their business in urban areas has also increased in recent years, mainly due to the sharp increase in the number of primary co-operative banks.

The co-operative banks in Indian banking were started with the objectives of prevention of concentration of economic power, achieving wide dispersal of ownership of productive resources, active involvement of people in development programmes, augmentation of the productive resources, liquidation of unemployment and poverty, and relieving the people from indebtedness to money lenders.
