Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This paper critically reviews the major trends in the trajectory of evolution of Indian microfinance since the early 1990s. The debates on Indian microfinance reflect the myriad imaginations and perceptions. Despite such inconclusive discourses, the reach of microfinance has expanded substantially across the country appropriating the spaces available within development planning and democratic politics.
