Microfinance in India: self help groups - bank linkage model

Dr. Lipishree Das

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: While the MFI model of microfinance is unsustainable, the SHG-Bank Linkage approach can make a positive impact on security and empowerment of the disadvantaged. Much more than microfinance is needed to overcome the problems that have persisted over the last 100 years. The findings from this study suggest that there is rise in the history and perspectives of rural credit in India in form of microfinance. And there is need for improved governance to manage challenges for future so that inclusive growth is possible.
