Book excerpt: After achieving independence in 1947, the government of India and the Reserve Bank of India have made concerted efforts to provide the poor with access to credit. Despite the phenomenal increase in the physical outreach of formal credit institutions in the past several decades, India's rural poor continue to depend on informal sources of credit. Institutions have also faced difficulties in dealing effectively with a large number of small borrowers, whose credit needs are small and frequent, and their ability to offer collaterals is limited. Cumbersome procedures and risk perceptions of the banks leave a gap in serving the credit needs of the rural poor. It is in this context that micro credit has emerged as the most suitable and practical alternative to the conventional banking in reaching India's hitherto unreached poor population. Micro credit enables poor people to be thrifty, and it helps them in availing the credit and other financial services for improving their income and living standards. India's Self-Help Group (SHG)-Bank Linkage Program was formally launched in 1992. The Program envisages the organization of the rural poor into SHGs for building their capacities to manage their own finances and then negotiate bank credit on commercial terms. This book contains well-researched papers which provide analytical information on various aspects of the micro finance and its impact on rural economy of India.

Book Synopsis The Microfinance Impact by : Ranjula Bali Swain
Download or read book The Microfinance Impact written by Ranjula Bali Swain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial inclusion through microfinance has become a powerful force in improving the living conditions of poor farmers, rural non-farm enterprises and other vulnerable groups. In its unique ability to link the existing extensive network of India’s rural bank branches with the Self Help Groups (SHG), the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has covered up to 97 million poor households by March 2010 under its Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme. Policy-makers have proclaimed SHGs as ‘‘the most potent initiative ... for delivering financial services to the poor in a sustainable manner." This book presents a comprehensive scientific assessment of the impact of the Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme (SBLP) on the member households. The book discusses wide-ranging topics, including the rural financial sector in India, the history and structure of the SBLP, the impact methodologies, the economic and social impact of microfinance, its role in building assets while reducing poverty and vulnerability, the role of women and their empowerment, training and accumulation of human capital and policy implications of lessons learned. The empirical results show that vulnerability of the more mature SHG members declines significantly. Vulnerability also falls for villages with better infrastructure and for SHGs that are formed by NGOs and linked by banks. The results strongly demonstrate that on average, there is a significant increase in the empowerment of the female participants. The economic impact of SBLP is found to be the most empowering. Greater autonomy and changes in social attitudes also lead to female empowerment. The investigation further reveals that training (especially business training) has a definite positive impact on assets but not on income. The impact of training can be improved through better infrastructure (as in paved roads), linkage model type, and the training organiser. Bridging the gap in the existing literature and between academics and practitioners, this book moves beyond the usual theoretical issues in the impact assessment literature and draws on new developments in methodology. It will be of interest to academics, development practitioners and students of economics, political science, sociology, public policy and development studies.
Book Synopsis Scaling-up Microfinance for India's Rural Poor by : Priya Basu
Download or read book Scaling-up Microfinance for India's Rural Poor written by Priya Basu and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper recommends that, if SHG Bank Linkage is to be scaled-up to offer mass access to finance for the rural poor, then more attention will need to be paid toward the promotion of high quality SHGs that are sustainable, clear targeting of clients, and ensuring that banks linked to SHGs price loans at cost-covering levels. At the same time, the paper argues that, in an economy as vast and varied as India's, there is scope for diverse microfinance approaches to coexist. Private sector microfinanciers need to acquire greater professionalism, and the government can help by creating a flexible architecture for microfinance innovations, including through a more enabling policy, legal, and regulatory framework. Finally, the paper argues that, while microfinance can, at minimum, serve as a quick way to deliver finance to reform these institutions with an eye to improving access for the poor."

Download or read book Microfinance written by Mohammad Kashif and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are essential part of the society. A key concern in developing countries is the empowerment of women. The role of women in economic activities and decision making is very low. Micro-financial schemes play a vital role in increasing women's participation in economic activities and decision making. In this research paper, an effort is made to investigate various causes of women empowerment especially through micro-financial schemes. Micro-finance or micro-credit, both used interchangeably, is an important tool for the growth of the economy of our country. There has been enormous growth of organizations, known as Micro-finance Institutions (MFIs) in this field to deal with the micro-financial activities. The present paper focuses on the challenges and opportunities of micro-finance activities in rural areas of our country. The motto of this paper is also to test the role of micro-finance in the empowerment of downtrodden people especially women and the realization of financial inclusion in rural India. With increasing demand for rural finance, and the shortages of formal sources, the MFIs have tremendous challenges and opportunities in micro-finance in India. Some suggestions are given how MFIs should be administered with better exploration in terms of finance and technology as well as social responsibility.

Book Synopsis Agriculture, Rural Banking and Micro Finance in India by : Rais Ahmad
Download or read book Agriculture, Rural Banking and Micro Finance in India written by Rais Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agricultural sector occupies a key position in India's economy. It provides employment to about 65% of the working population of India. Being the backbone of India's economy, agriculture has been treated as a priority sector for the allocation of institutional credit. The low growth rate of agriculture in the past few years has further strengthened the channels of credit flow to this sector. Micro credit has emerged as a visible credit channel to the poor, as their access to conventional credit channels is constrained by the requirement of collateral and high transaction cost. Micro finance is routed through Self-Help Groups (SHGs). Over the years, the SHG-Bank Linkage Program - which includes commercial banks, regional rural banks, and co-operative banks - has emerged as the major micro finance program in the country. This book, authored by experts in the field of agricultural finance, provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of agricultural/rural finance in India, the emergence of micro finance, financial inclusion efforts, and related matters.
