- Summary:
- Based on the analysis of a large-scale rural household survey, in combination with an evaluation of the role of financial markets and institutions, this tide examines different forms of financial service provision for the rural poor, including formal, informal and microfinance. It raises questions about approaches used so far to address financial exclusion, and makes recommendations on how to scale-up access to finance for India's rural poor, to meet their diverse financial needs in a commercially sustainable manner.
