Financial inclusion & Microfinance for SEBC's in India

By C.P. Somasundaran

Microfinance is increasingly playing an important role in meeting the financial needs of the poor in developing nations. This form of financing has received a lot of attention over the last few years around the world. India, being a predominantly agricultural society, could benefit tremendously in terms of poverty alleviation, improvement in standards of living of the poor etc. The interest in micro-finance has burgeoned during the last two decades: multilateral lending agencies, bilateral donor agencies, developing and developed country governments, and non -governmental organizations (NGOs) all support the development of micro-finance. A variety of private banking institutions has also joined this group in recent years. As a result, micro-finance services have grown rapidly during the last decade, although from an initial low level, and have come to the forefront of development discussions concerning poverty reduction.
