banking systems. Navigating through the intricate theories, methodologies, and empirical studies can
often leave even the most diligent scholars feeling overwhelmed.

Moreover, the rigorous academic standards set forth by universities demand a level of precision and
depth that can be challenging to achieve. Crafting a well-structured and coherent argument requires
not only a deep understanding of the topic but also exceptional writing skills and critical thinking
abilities.

MICROFINANCE SECTOR IN INDIA Dr Ritu Chandna Associate Professor in Commerce Journal
ijmr.net.in(UGC Approved) Microfinance is defined as any activity that includes the provision of
financial services such as credit, savings, and insurance to low income individuals which fall just
above the nationally defined poverty line, and poor individuals which fall below that poverty line,
with the goal of creating social value. The paper delineates three distinct aspects of microfinance,
first growth of microfinance in India and some other countries; secondly it discusses the role played
by NABARD and other National Banks in growth of SHGs and Grameen Bank. However,
microfinance is not without its challenges. The microfinance has come forward to fill up the gap.
Micro lenders focus on start-up businesses and small microenterprises, those with five or fewer
employees. More so, poor households require these financial services to be able to smoothen their
consumption; invest in projects and big events and equally hope with risk and uncertainty. Given that
the recipient side were large number of socially disadvantaged weak people, the micro-finance sector
not only tarnished its’ own image, but also created a strong public opinion against it, leading to
Government restrictions on such activities. The study reveals that While Micro Finance Sector seems
to be growing fast with no road blockages, it has also brought to fore several challenges and issues.
Microloan entrepreneurs rarely default on their loan payments; they are proud that they are given the
opportunity to start their own businesses. However, this restriction suddenly has reduced the
availability of the capital for the poor households, resulting into soaring of informal credit rates. This
working paper tries to outline the prevailing conditions of the Microfinance in India. Moreover,
households having informal borrowings have been found to have higher priority to the group
formation. The findings indicate that majority of the beneficiaries have used the loans for starting
their own part-time micro-enterprises which is supplementing their wages they are getting from the
factory. The government and financial institution have accepted this and have highlighted the SHG
model and take initiatives to work along with NGOs. These lenders manage large microloan volumes
and charge interest rates that cover operational costs and risk. Furthermore, among these sorts of
clients the only assets they have may be critical to their means of subsistence and legal or ethical
restrictions may prevent banks from foreclosing upon them. One of the key ways that microfinance
achieves this goal is by providing loans to people who are unable to secure traditional bank loans due
to a lack of collateral or credit history. Some microfinance institutions work directly with clients,
while others partner with intermediaries, such as local community organizations or banks, to reach a
wider group of clients. Microfinance is a tool for reducing poverty depending on local circumstances.

Sector seems to be growing fast with no road blockages, it has also brought to fore several
challenges and issues. This, in the background of inadequate understanding of the potential
borrowers led to over-lending, in spite of high rates of interest (unlike the sub-prime crisis) being
charged. More so, poor households require these financial services to be able to smoothen their
consumption; invest in projects and big events and equally hope with risk and uncertainty. As a part
of this mission, the MFIs were trying to tap the mainstream capital market, for the poor. Women in
India are characterized by lack of education and access of resources both of which are required to

Despite these challenges, microfinance remains a valuable tool for improving access to financial
resources and promoting economic development, particularly in areas where traditional banking
services are limited. The fact that almost half of our women are illiterate speaks of serious
genderdiscrimination within the systemWomen's empowerment plays a very important role in the
overalldevelopment of the country. They work primarily for lending purposes, although they also
offer the savings facility. The goal of microfinance is to provide access to financial resources to those
who may not have had it before, in order to improve their economic well-being and contribute to the
overall development of their communities. Benefits of Microfinance The World Bank estimates that
more than 500 million people have directly or indirectly benefited from microfinance-related
operations. It not only helps in the development of half of thehuman resources, but in improving the
quality of life at home and outside. Given that the recipient side were large number of socially

situation: restricted micro-finance will have to be restored, with specific caps on returns it can
generate on the capital invested. As the sector continues to evolve and mature, it is likely to play an
increasingly important role in addressing global poverty and inequality. The reasons may be many
such as failure to reach the target group, loopholes in the system, developing a robust mechanism to
name a few. This paper tries to see the impact of micro finance on the rural women of Assam-a state
which is very near to Bangladesh, the country where microfinance has got tremendous response
from the women folk. In response, Compartamos and other for-profit MFIs counter that
commercialization allows them to operate more efficiently, and to attract more capital by appealing to
profit-seeking investors.
Though there was some development of the technology, micro-finance operations, especially in poor
infrastructure areas, remained more or less human resource intensive. The creation of social value
includes poverty alleviation and the broader impact of improving livelihood opportunities through
the provision of capital for micro enterprise, and insurance and savings for risk mitigation and
consumption smoothing. This has enabled the women members of self-help groups to become
economically independent and helped them earn a stable income. They have been extending
microfinance to individual beneficiaries as well as to SHGs. Abstract-Economists have long agreed
that access to finance plays an essential role in the process of dipping the inequality in wealth
distribution, it enhancing the household income and provide better employment opportunities. The
main objective of micro-finance is to alleviate poverty by enabling the poor self-dependent and
empowerment of women. Given that the recipient side were large number of socially disadvantaged
weak people, the micro-finance sector not only tarnished its’ own image, but also created a strong
public opinion against it, leading to Government restrictions on such activities. It i ncludes loans,
savi ngs, credit, insurance services, money transfer and other basic financial services to the
economically weaker section of society. Although there is still opportunity for a borrower to
strategically default, waiting until loan sizes have grown substantially larger before failing to make
payments, the reputational constraints discussed above operate to reduce the frequency of this
problem. By the time the private equity came in, technical assistance and support services were
almost not there. There have also been concerns about the sustainability of microfinance institutions,
particularly those that rely heavily on donor funding. The loans are often used to fund small
businesses, such as street vendors or home-based businesses, which can provide a source of income
and help lift people out of poverty. Microfinance allows them to take the fullest advantage of
chances that are available to them, limited as they may be. Many developing countries and regions
can utilize micro lending as a sustainable tool to reduce poverty. These people do not have income
nor own a property and therefore, are unable to provide Bank guarantees, as a result of which they
are generally forgotten by financial Institutions and Banks. It has become a critical tool for reaching
all those under privileged groups such as women, socially and economically backward classes for the
purpose of empowerment and providing access to the financial services. Microfinance is the
provision of providing financial services to low income people who have been neglected by formal
banking institutions. The aim of present study is to analyze the role of microfinance as a tool of

of women in rural Assam and hence micro finance has a great future in this part of India. It is
observed that in maximum cases women are plying a vital role in the use of micro finance through
the self help groups (SHGs). They should understand the problems that the industry faces while
trying to make positive improvements. Lending should be done at rates which cover the costs: of
capital, of delivery, and of risk. These services can help to protect people against financial risks and
help them manage their money more effectively. These lenders manage large microloan volumes and
charge interest rates that cover operational costs and risk. In this regard development of
microenterprises plays a crucial role for sustainable economic development. Micro-finance started
with an effort of development organizations to make capital available to the poor people, which was
a necessary condition for augmenting their income. This working paper tries to outline the prevailing
conditions of the Microfinance in India. Microfinance is emerging as a powerful instrument for
poverty alleviation in the new economy. More so, poor households require these financial services to
be able to smoothen their consumption; invest in projects and big events and equally hope with risk

Many developing countries and regions can utilize micro lending as a sustainable tool to reduce
poverty. By the end of the decade, 2007-09, the mainstream financial institutions, which were going
through a bad patch, found this high return, safe investment, which also allowed them to look at
themselves as social investors, into MFIs an attractive proposition. Often they came up with
innovative mechanisms of rewarding themselves, instead of passing the benefit back to the ultimate
borrowers. Therefore, the growth of micro-finance also required engagement of larger number of
human resources. Micro finance institutions include N.G.Os, Credit Uni ons, N.B.F.Cs. Cooperati
ves and banks. Micro-finance started with an effort of development organizations to make capital
available to the poor people, which was a necessary condition for augmenting their income. Micro
lenders focus on start-up businesses and small microenterprises, those with five or fewer employees.
There was also a growing thinking that subsidized credit has its own limitations. However,
microfinance is not without its challenges. In this research paper, the primary data was collected from
women working in production and manufacturing industries of Mysuru district of Karnataka.This
paper makes an attempt to look at the usage of loans of 124 women members of self-help groups

such as street vendors or home-based businesses, which can provide a source of income and help lift
people out of poverty. By the time the private equity came in, technical assistance and support
services were almost not there. These loans are typically small, ranging from a few hundred to a few
thousand dollars, and are designed to be repaid over a short period of time, usually within a year or
less. Setting up a rural microfinance requires that we take into consideration the supply side and the
demand side of microfinance services respectively The supply side refers to the interest of the
banking institution and the demand side, the needs of the rural population. SKS works in a similar
fashion to the Grameen Bank, pooling all borrowers into groups of five members who work together

members in the fight against poverty; therefore, they have to be involved actively in improving their
lives Develter and Huybrechts, P18. Many countries including India experimented with subsidized
credit which only led to increase in the NPAs. But the outreach is too small as compared to the
requirement and potential. Governments also have piloted national programs, NGOs have undertaken
the activity of raising donor funds for on-lending, and some banks have partnered with public
organizations or made small inroads themselves in providing such services. This has resulted in a
rather broad definition of microfinance as any activity that targets poor and low-income individuals
for the provision of financial services. As the number of credit-worthy borrowers did not grow at the

poor, it holds to change the socio economic face of the India's poor. The paper concluded that the

for the addition of relevant laws governing financial activities in 33 countries. By the end of the

progress in this regard after active role played by NABARD and formation of SHGs groups. The
study also deals with the need for a regulatory body to regulate, develop and guide the numerous
MFIs and NGOs who work in the field of microcredit. It has become a critical tool for reaching all
those under privileged groups such as women, socially and economically backward classes for the
purpose of empowerment and providing access to the financial services. Microfinance has had a
significant impact on the lives of millions of people around the world, particularly in developing
countries.
