Role of microfinance institution of pakistan for poverty alleviationMuhammad ALI RAZA
The document discusses microcredit as a tool for poverty alleviation in Pakistan. It provides background on various microfinance institutions and programs in Pakistan, established since the 1980s by organizations like the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme and Sarhad Rural Support Programme. Studies have found that microcredit has helped create self-employment opportunities and lift people out of poverty by making them creditworthy. However, not all potential recipients in places like Dera Ismail Khan have taken advantage of microcredit due to lack of awareness, high interest rates, and insufficient loan amounts.

Microfinance and the Challenge of Financial Inclusion for Sme’s Development i...IOSRJBM
This paper examined microfinance and the challenge of financial inclusion for SMEs development in Nigeria. The study adopted two separate econometrics models for capturing and testing for significance in the stated objectives between 2005 and 2015. The first model determined whether financial inclusion improve the financial well-being of low-income savers in the study period. The second investigated the impact that micro finance has on the performance of small and medium scale enterprises. Each of the models was subjected to the Ordinary Least Square regression to determine the appropriateness of models estimated. Findings from the empirical results in model one (1) and two (2) indicated relationship between financial inclusion in Nigeria, microfinance, and small business enterprises over 10 years period of study. The study found out that there is a significant relationship between financial inclusion and financial well – being of the low income earners. Empirical finding that examines the relationship between microfinance and small business in Nigeria indicates that there is a negative significant relationship between loan to small enterprises and loan to rural areas in Nigeria in the period under study. The study suggests therefore that financial inclusion will have a positive significant impact on the development of small business if the plan to include everyone works in Nigeria.

A Strategic Perspective of the Indian Micro Finance Sector 2015Chandrasekhar Poduri
The document discusses the evolution of microfinance in India over the past century. It began as a means of providing credit to rural India through cooperative banking and social banking initiatives. Over time, self-help groups (SHGs) and microfinance institutions (MFIs) emerged as effective models for extending financial services to the poor. MFIs grew rapidly in the 2000s by transforming into non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and accessing mainstream capital markets. However, over-aggressive lending practices by some MFIs in Andhra Pradesh led to a crisis in 2010. The microfinance sector in India continues to evolve through policy changes, industry self-regulation, and expanding access to financial services for under

Finally, it outlines the research methodology used in a case study on financial inclusion in an Indian village.
Perceptions of People from Economically Backward Section towards Financial In...iosrjce
Financial Inclusion aims to provide the financial services to the people from economically backward
section of the society. The objective is to assist them in their economic improvement and achieve the sustainable
growth. In this study, an effort has been made to examine the views of the people from economically backward
sectionregarding the important aspects of financial inclusion. Views of 53 respondents are analyzed. ChiSquare,
nonparametric statistical technique, has been used to examine whether the views of the different
categories of the respondents about the important aspects of financial inclusiondiffer. Based on the views of the
respondents we found that bank employees are encouraging people from economically weaker sections to open
their accounts and people also found these accounts useful. Respondents are also of the view that education
level, income level, age and period of association of the account holder with the bank directly affects the quality
of services rendered. To further enhance the utility of the scheme and ensure its success, there is a need to
provide training to bank staff so that the quality of services rendered is not differentiated between different
categories of customers. Further, whereas this study pertains to the views of the economically weaker section,
there is a need to examine the views of bankers also, so that this scheme can be made more useful.

Role of microfinance in promoting micro entrepreneurshipVijayakumar Kumar
This document discusses the role of microfinance in promoting micro-entrepreneurship in India. It begins by defining key terms like microenterprise and microfinance. Microenterprises are very small businesses, often with just one employee owner, while microfinance provides small loans and other financial services to the poor. The document then outlines the various models of microfinance that have been implemented in India, including self-help groups linked to banks. It argues that microenterprises are important for employment generation and poverty alleviation in rural areas. Access to microfinance can play a key role in meeting the credit needs of the rural poor to start micro-businesses.
This is a joint report focussing the impact of microfinance among the clients before and after the Andhra Pradesh crisis arising from the Andhra Pradesh Microfinance Institutions (Regulation of Money lending) Act, 2010. The report highlights the similar findings from quantitative study conducted by the Centre for Microfinance (CMF) at IFMR Research and qualitative study conducted by MicroSave. This paper features findings related to multiple borrowing, household indebtedness, loan purpose and client perspectives on availability of financing. Both studies validate the fact that the members of the community face issues raising credit in the absence of MFIs. Members of the community have reduced their spending on important aspects such as health, education and business because of non availability of adequate credit from alternative sources. Moneylenders are having a field day with the absence of MFIs. Members of the community are falling back to moneylenders who charge usurious rates of interest to meet their credit needs. The study also highlights the failure of MFIs when designing market led products and processes. MFIs, in the process of rapid scale up and single minded pursuit of exponential growth targets, ignored the needs of the clients. The study clearly shows the discomfort of the clients with inflexible repayments, interest rates and behaviour of the staff especially when it comes to repayment.
Financial Inclusion and its Determinants - IndiaDr Lendy Spires
This document summarizes a study that analyzes the determinants of financial inclusion in India using state-level panel data from 1995 to 2008. The study finds that increasing bank branch networks, as measured by average population per branch, has a beneficial impact on deposit penetration but a weaker impact on credit penetration. Higher state income levels are also found to have a positive impact on both credit and deposit penetration. Additionally, states with higher proportions of factories and employees tend to have greater banking activity and financial inclusion. The study concludes that policy attention should focus on low-performing regions to help close gaps in financial inclusion compared to better-performing regions.
This document discusses financial inclusion in India based on a literature review and analysis of key statistics. It begins by providing context on India's economic growth since 1991 and defines financial inclusion. It then reviews literature on various aspects of financial inclusion in India. Key statistics analyzed include the availability of ATMs and bank branches in India compared to other countries, growth in agricultural credit and bank accounts in rural areas, and the progress of banks in expanding access in rural villages. The overall perspective presented is that while progress has been made in expanding access to financial services in India, significant deficiencies still remain, particularly for vulnerable groups, and India still lags globally in terms of access points per population when compared to other nations.
1) Microfinance institutions provide small loans and financial services to low-income populations, playing a key role in creating economic opportunities for the poorest.

Microfinance has positively impacted rural development in Assam. The study analyzed 10 microfinance institutions in Kamrup and Cachar districts of Assam. It found that microfinance has improved standards of living and empowered women by providing loans, savings opportunities, and financial services. However, more government support is still needed to develop infrastructure, train personnel, and support small MFIs in remote areas of Assam. Overall, microfinance has shown potential for reducing poverty but could be more effective with technological innovations to improve access in rural communities.
Analysis of the effects of micro finance banks on poverty reanglo99
This document analyzes the effects of microfinance banks on poverty reduction and economic growth in Nigeria. It discusses how microfinance banks aim to increase access to credit for small businesses and low-income households. This is intended to promote entrepreneurship, self-reliance, employment, and household income among the poor. The document also outlines the objectives of microfinance banks in Nigeria, which include serving the large unserved market, generating employment, reducing poverty, and increasing savings opportunities. It provides context on the history and concept of microfinance in Nigeria.
After the nationalization of banks, the financial sector has become an important factor in reducing poverty, increasing employment and increasing economic growth of the country. But this sector has not been able to contribute to its utmost because of its unawareness about formal financial institutions among certain sectors of society. Those sectors are mainly the rural population of the country who are illiterate and who are unaware of the facilities provided by the Government of India in the field of finance which can help them maintain their income in an efficient way and introduce them to the investment schemes that are coming up to manage their income properly. Financially excluded people mostly include rural poor, low-income underprivileged people. Some of the authors carried out a survey in few states of India because these states have well-developed financial facilities available, but still there is a need for financial inclusion services in some areas because the available services are not utilized by the general public. For this reason, they went on and asked relevant questions about why the people are not interested in approaching formal financial institution and whether they are aware of these services and facilities or not. The data were collected and reported in a systematic manner. This author focused on whether the financial inclusion has really been implemented in the regions which the banks claimed to be completely financially inclusive. Survey of researchers concluded that more than half of the population from rural India are unaware of the financial facilities and services provided by formal institutions. Our empirical focus is on financial literacy that is needed to increase financial inclusion in rural sectors of India. The literature review done talks about the studies done by various researchers in this field and the strategies and approaches adopted by the government, RBI and NGOs to spread the awareness in order to involve them in contributing their part to the economic growth of the country. A detailed study is done by means survey by the help of a questionnaire and the data collected are worked on with the help of statistical tools which ultimately gave us the relation between various parameters considered for financial inclusion. This analysis and interpretation gave us the relation between financial literacy and financial inclusion and we were able to conclude that financial literacy has a role to play in the process of financial inclusion.

Financial Inclusion Summit 2016 - Background & Current Status - Part - 1Resurgent India
Financial Inclusion is a key enabler to economic, social and transaction security of a country, thereby driving inclusive growth. It is for this reason that financial inclusion has been one of the key government priorities over the years, through various initiatives like Nationalization of Banks, Expansion of Banks branch network, Lead Bank Scheme, Business Correspondent Model, Mobile banking, Aadhaar enabled banking accounts, e-KYCs etc. Despite these various measures, poverty and exclusion continue to dominate socio-economic and political discourse in India even after six decades of post economic independence era.
A Study On The Performance Of Microfinance Institutions In IndiaAudrey Britton
This document summarizes a study on the performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in India. It finds that the number of MFIs borrowing from banks increased substantially from 2015-2016 to 2016-2017, but total bank loans to MFIs decreased slightly over that period. Loan amounts outstanding to MFIs increased each year. The study also found MFI business models are becoming more urban-centric, as rural client bases declined in most states except a few. The proportion of income generation loans increased from 2015 to 2017. Financial indicators for MFIs like returns on assets and equity increased over this period, while total assets sharply declined.

It begins by providing context on India's economic growth since 1991 and defines financial inclusion. It then reviews literature on various aspects of financial inclusion in India. Key statistics analyzed include the availability of ATMs and bank branches in India compared to other countries, growth in agricultural credit and bank accounts in rural areas, and the progress of banks in expanding access in rural villages. The overall perspective presented is that while progress has been made in expanding access to financial services in India, significant deficiencies still remain, particularly for vulnerable groups, and India still lags globally in terms of access points per population when compared to other nations.
1) Microfinance institutions provide small loans and financial services to low-income populations, playing a key role in creating economic opportunities for the poorest.
2) The Self Help Group (SHG) - Bank linkage program was conceived to develop supplementary credit services for the unreached poor, build trust between bankers and the poor, and encourage banking activity among the poor.
3) Through SHGs, over 22 million poor households have gained access to formal banking, with nearly 90% being women's groups. Banks have provided over $2 billion in loans to SHGs.

Microfinance has positively impacted rural development in Assam. The study analyzed 10 microfinance institutions in Kamrup and Cachar districts of Assam. It found that microfinance has improved standards of living and empowered women by providing loans, savings opportunities, and financial services. However, more government support is still needed to develop infrastructure, train personnel, and support small MFIs in remote areas of Assam. Overall, microfinance has shown potential for reducing poverty but could be more effective with technological innovations to improve access in rural communities.
Analysis of the effects of micro finance banks on poverty reanglo99
This document analyzes the effects of microfinance banks on poverty reduction and economic growth in Nigeria. It discusses how microfinance banks aim to increase access to credit for small businesses and low-income households. This is intended to promote entrepreneurship, self-reliance, employment, and household income among the poor. The document also outlines the objectives of microfinance banks in Nigeria, which include serving the large unserved market, generating employment, reducing poverty, and increasing savings opportunities. It provides context on the history and concept of microfinance in Nigeria.
After the nationalization of banks, the financial sector has become an important factor in reducing poverty, increasing employment and increasing economic growth of the country. But this sector has not been able to contribute to its utmost because of its unawareness about formal financial institutions among certain sectors of society. Those sectors are mainly the rural population of the country who are illiterate and who are unaware of the facilities provided by the Government of India in the field of finance which can help them maintain their income in an efficient way and introduce them to the investment schemes that are coming up to manage their income properly. Financially excluded people mostly include rural poor, low-income underprivileged people. Some of the authors carried out a survey in few states of India because these states have well-developed financial facilities available, but still there is a need for financial inclusion services in some areas because the available services are not utilized by the general public. For this reason, they went on and asked relevant questions about why the people are not interested in approaching formal financial institution and whether they are aware of these services and facilities or not. The data were collected and reported in a systematic manner. This author focused on whether the financial inclusion has really been implemented in the regions which the banks claimed to be completely financially inclusive. Survey of researchers concluded that more than half of the population from rural India are unaware of the financial facilities and services provided by formal institutions. Our empirical focus is on financial literacy that is needed to increase financial inclusion in rural sectors of India. The literature review done talks about the studies done by various researchers in this field and the strategies and approaches adopted by the government, RBI and NGOs to spread the awareness in order to involve them in contributing their part to the economic growth of the country. A detailed study is done by means survey by the help of a questionnaire and the data collected are worked on with the help of statistical tools which ultimately gave us the relation between various parameters considered for financial inclusion. This analysis and interpretation gave us the relation between financial literacy and financial inclusion and we were able to conclude that financial literacy has a role to play in the process of financial inclusion.
Financial Inclusion and Micro and Small Enterprises GrowthDr. Amarjeet Singh
The persons or firms linked with the either way of
financial transaction are known as participants of financial
inclusion financially included otherwise financially
excluded. The normal way of flow of money is routed
through banking system, post office, insurance and FBFC
channels. The MSE is financially included with operation of
saving account, current account or loan account with banks;
financial transaction with other government financial
agencies as well as some private sector NBFC. Recent
initiatives of Government of India and Indian Banking
system have accelerated the performance of financial
inclusion through various schemes such as MNREGS,
Jandhan, Atal Pension Yojna, MUDRA and so forth. The
MUDRA scheme, credit scheme for MSE, credit scheme for
KVIC & Coir firm, Kishan credit card, General Credit
Card are exclusive financial inclusion scheme for MSE
credit. Out of total size of MSEs, less than forty percent
units are getting benefits from schedule commercial banks;
as on 2017-18 only Rs. 1337 billion credit facilities given by
the lending institutions. The paper examines the current
status and potential prospect of financial inclusion at given
numbers of units and employment.
Financial Inclusion Summit 2016 - Background & Current Status - Part - 1Resurgent India
Financial Inclusion is a key enabler to economic, social and transaction security of a country, thereby driving inclusive growth. It is for this reason that financial inclusion has been one of the key government priorities over the years, through various initiatives like Nationalization of Banks, Expansion of Banks branch network, Lead Bank Scheme, Business Correspondent Model, Mobile banking, Aadhaar enabled banking accounts, e-KYCs etc. Despite these various measures, poverty and exclusion continue to dominate socio-economic and political discourse in India even after six decades of post economic independence era.
A Study On The Performance Of Microfinance Institutions In IndiaAudrey Britton
This document summarizes a study on the performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in India. It finds that the number of MFIs borrowing from banks increased substantially from 2015-2016 to 2016-2017, but total bank loans to MFIs decreased slightly over that period. Loan amounts outstanding to MFIs increased each year. The study also found MFI business models are becoming more urban-centric, as rural client bases declined in most states except a few. The proportion of income generation loans increased from 2015 to 2017. Financial indicators for MFIs like returns on assets and equity increased over this period, while total assets sharply declined.
Financial inclusion and its determinants nitinDr Lendy Spires
This document summarizes a study that analyzes the determinants of financial inclusion in India using state-level panel data from 1995 to 2008. The study finds that increasing bank branch networks, as measured by average population per branch, has a beneficial impact on deposit penetration but a weaker impact on credit penetration. Higher state income levels are also found to have a positive impact on both credit and deposit penetration. Additionally, states with higher proportions of factories and employees tend to have greater banking activity and financial inclusion. The study concludes that policy attention should focus on low-performing regions to help close gaps in financial inclusion compared to better-performing regions.
FINANCIAL INCLUSION THROUGH BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT MODELIAEME Publication
In recent years, India has witnessed a high rate of economic growth, which has resulted in greater personal wealth for many Indians. However, a majority section of the society is still financially uncovered, meaning it does not have access to formal financial institutions. In light of recent research that shows a strong correlation between financial exclusion and poverty and inequality, the Indian government has made financial inclusion an integral part of its planning strategy. The spreading of banking network to the vast rural areas of the country at an affordable cost remains as a challenge to all those who are involved. In India, an effort has been made to achieve financial inclusion by using information and communication technology through a Business Correspondent model.
India with 300 million people still living below the poverty line needs measures to uplift the status of these people. Financial inclusion and provision of micro credit to poor households has been one of such programmes which gained popularity with many benefits. Financial inclusion is the delivery of banking services at an affordable cost to the vast sections of disadvantaged and low income groups. Only 49% of the farmer households in rural India are having transactions with banks which suggests the fact that 51% are excluded from financial assistance. Micro Finance programmes have become one of the more promising ways of providing developmental finance to achieve the objectives of poverty eradication. One of the most important models of micro finance models is the development of Self Help Groups to achieve the long cherished objective of rural development and poverty alleviation. Through this paper it is proposed to evaluate the contribution of micro finance programmes especially Self Help Groups to the achievement of inclusive growth. This paper also includes two cases of SHGs working in Hyderabad and Nizamabad of Andhra Pradesh to project the reasons for success/ failure of the groups.
This document provides a summary of a research report on financial inclusion in India. It includes an abstract that outlines the purpose of studying and comparing financial inclusion programs and initiatives in India, Kenya, and Bangladesh. It also describes the dimensions of financial inclusion as access, usage, and quality of services. The document then provides a comparative analysis of financial inclusion programs in the three countries and compares India's situation in 2005-2006 to 2014-2015. It also summarizes the results of a survey on the correlation between social security schemes and financial inclusion in India. The overall document aims to analyze the economic implications of financial inclusion programs and provide recommendations.

The document discusses several issues with microfinance programs in India, including that the average loan size through the Self Help Group-Bank Linkage Program is still under Rs. 10,000, which is too small to meaningfully improve livelihoods or repay debts. It also notes that many bankers are reluctant to provide loans in rural areas despite guidelines, and sometimes require NGOs to provide informal guarantees. The wholesaler-retailer model launched by SIDBI also did not significantly scale up or strengthen management institutions as intended. Both major programs have failed to adequately address improving livelihoods and quality of life for the poor beyond credit alone. Several MFIs in Andhra Pradesh were also found to be charging excessive interest rates
This document provides an overview of microfinance in India, including:
1) Microfinance plays a vital role in providing financial services to the poor and low-income individuals in India, where 70% of the population lives in rural areas and 60% depend on agriculture.
2) The two main models of microfinance delivery in India are the Self Help Group (SHG) Bank Linkage Program and Microfinance Institutions (MFIs).
3) Microfinance has grown significantly in India and plays an important role in poverty alleviation, economic growth, and empowering women. It provides small loans, savings opportunities, and financial independence to tens of millions of poor and rural Indians.
The thrust of this study was to determine the impact of micro credit on the MSMEs sector in CRS,
Nigeria. Three hypotheses were formulated from the research questions and tested by using chi-square statistic
to validate the truth or otherwise of the hypotheses. Ex-post factor research design was adopted and a sample
size of 158 respondents was selected and used for the study. A structured questionnaire was used in obtaining
the data. In testing the hypotheses, all the calculated chi-square values were greater than the critical chi-square
value at the given level of significance and degree of freedom. This resulted in rejecting the null hypotheses
while the alternate hypotheses were retained. The results indicated that micro credit programmes have
significant effect on MSMEs in CRS. Equally, credit administration has a significant effect on the performance
of microcredit programmes and that collateral requirements on MSMEs have significant effect on obtaining
credit from microfinance institutions in CRS. Arising from the findings, the study recommends that government
should make more microcredit programmes available for the development of MSMEs in CRS. There should be
efficiency in credit administration on the part of both government and the private sector so as to enhance the
performance of microcredit programmes in CRS and also collateral requirements should be minimized, while
low interest rate should be charged on micro, small and medium enterprises so as to enhance obtaining of credit
facilities from microfinance institutions in the State.
Microfinance and strategy of financial inclusion in indiaAlexander Decker
This document discusses microfinance and financial inclusion in India. It notes that while India has made progress in expanding access to banking, many rural and low-income populations still lack access to formal financial services. Microfinance institutions like self-help groups have played an important role in promoting financial inclusion. The document examines different approaches to financial inclusion in India, the role of banks and microfinance, and challenges remaining around expanding access in a sustainable way.
The document discusses the future of microfinance in India. It notes that microfinance has expanded rapidly in recent years, with membership in associations growing and loan amounts outstanding increasing significantly from 2001-2004 and 2001-2005 for various microfinance programs and institutions. It also discusses the growing partnership models between banks and MFIs, and innovations in how banks provide funding to MFIs. Going forward, it emphasizes the need for greater financial literacy, product differentiation, and ensuring client empowerment through education on loan terms and conditions.
Microfinance in India provides financial services like credit, savings and insurance to low-income groups. It started in the 1980s with self-help groups that provided small loans. Today, microfinance reaches over 100 million Indians through programs like self-help group banking and microfinance institutions. While it has helped encourage entrepreneurship and empowered women, microfinance in India faces challenges of high costs, lack of capital for lenders, and an inability of borrowers to provide collateral. However, it also presents opportunities to reach the large low-income customer base through financial inclusion, innovation and products tailored for their needs.
The Relationship between Microfinance Institutions and Group Lending Model in...ijtsrd
Microfinance is a mechanism for the development of the country with especially focusing on poor women in rural areas. Micro Finance has had several successful initiatives, including the range of outreach, as well as the development of innovative products and local institutions that reach out to marginalized communities. Micro finance has been accepted at the national policy level for poverty reduction. The present paper purports to examine the role of JLGs in microfinance in India. The paper is based on mainly primary data. The research design is descriptive. The data for the present study is based on a major research study on microfinance in the state of Uttar Pradesh conducted in 2019 by the researcher. Chi square test is used to know the level of significance. While many studies relate to microfinance, only a few studies have been conducted so far to assess the effect of JLGs. Against this backdrop, the present paper purports to examine the Relationship between microfinance institutions and group lending model in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Microfinance, also called microcredit, is a type of banking service provided to unemployed or low-income individuals or groups who otherwise would have no other access to financial service.
The document discusses financial inclusion in India. It defines financial inclusion as the delivery of affordable financial services to disadvantaged and low-income groups. The government and Reserve Bank of India have implemented several initiatives to promote financial inclusion, such as "no-frills" bank accounts, banking services through business correspondents, and electronic benefit transfers. However, full financial inclusion has not been achieved, as an estimated 560 million Indians still lack access to formal financial services. Innovative products, regulation, technology, and public-private partnerships are needed to make further progress on financial inclusion in India.

A study of Branchless banking for financial inclusion in India!L S Subramanian
Branchless banking plays a key role in achieving financial inclusion in India. It provides banking services to the large unbanked population through methods like business correspondents and use of technologies like mobile phones. Studies show over 50% of Indian households do not have access to formal banking. The government and Reserve Bank of India have implemented policies like the National Rural Financial Inclusion Plan to increase access through branchless models. Research found branchless banking has benefited customers by providing convenient, affordable services. However, more financial education is still needed and future models could offer additional products like insurance to further help low-income groups.

Globally, the number of startup companies has rapidly expanded during the last 5-8 years. Offering
products and/or services that greatly enhance the lives of its clients is a major focus for these firms. In India,
local and federal government initiatives have provided new enterprises and entrepreneurs with much
momentum and assistance, helping India become the world's top startup location. The Government of India
(GOI) launched the "Startup India" campaign in 2015 to promote entrepreneurship and support businesses to
achieve this goal (Babu, S., Sridevi, K.,2019). An IBM Center for Business Value and Oxford Economics study
in 2018 found that 90% of Indian companies fail within the first five years of operation. Potential difficulties
that startups may run across, both generally and specifically in the Indian market, have been described by
several authors.

SHG-Bank Linkage Programme & Trend of Its Effective
Intervention in Economic Upliftment

Abstract: This paper has referred to research done over the years and tries to study the trend of average
amount of loan disbursed to SHGs, amount of bank loans outstanding and its associated gross NPA from 2015
to 2020, agent-wise. Microfinance programmes like the Self-Help Group Bank Linkage Program in India have
been increasingly promoted for their positive economic impact and the belief that they empower women. They
are playing vital role in the inclusive growth of economy of India. There are many published works that
provides insights into the success of this model. Moving from the concept of savings and credit, the Government
aims to achieve universal mobilization of women and other common interest groups into SHGs and support for
improved livelihoods at a time when several new opportunities for entrepreneurship and livelihoods are coming
up under other schemes of the Government. The group-based micro finance approach of SHGs is expected to
contribute to poverty eradication, empowerment of SHG members, awareness amongst members about issues
related to health, education, nutrition, social development etc. and to asset building. Thus, the group movement
is advantageous for the individual group members as well as their respective families. This paper also focuses
on the no. of SHGs and the estimated no. of families covered in the past five years.

I. Introduction
The revolution in microfinance has created a development paradigm shift. This paradigm shift favours
the use of microfinance as an important ingredient in improving the welfare of the poor particularly in
developing countries. This has come about as a result of: (1) call by the 1997 Microfinance Summit for
mobilization of US$20 billion over a 10-year period to support microfinance; (2) The proclamation of 2005 by
United Nations as the “Year of Micro-credit”; and (3) the ultimate award of a Nobel Peace Prize to a universally
acclaimed founder of modern microfinance, Prof. Muhamad Yunus and Grameen Bank which he founded in
1970. These milestones in the history of microfinance, can be said to have partially propelled the boom in
microfinance area. In early 1980s, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) started
promoting SHGs in rural areas on a large scale. The concept was soon introduced in urban areas and has been
promoted thereafter through several government schemes. Moving from the concept of savings and credit, the
government aims to achieve universal mobilization of women and other common interest groups into SHGs and
support for improved livelihoods at a time when several new opportunities for entrepreneurship and livelihoods
are coming up under other schemes of the government. The group-based micro finance approach of SHGs is
expected to contribute to poverty eradication, empowerment of SHG members, awareness amongst members
about issues related to health, education, nutrition, social development etc. and to asset building. Thus, the group
movement is advantageous for the individual group members as well as their respective families. It is also
expected that SHG members will take a leadership role in framing their economic problems, in identifying/
scaling up and managing their economic activities and become successful producers of valuable goods/ services.
This model of SHG movement is popularly known in India as the “SHG-Bank Linkage Model” (Shetty, 2017).
NABARD provides capital support to various MFIs which in turn provides financial assistance to SHGs. Banks
provide financial services to SHGs directly or indirectly through NGOs and other agencies. Three models have
emerged in SHG-Bank Linkage Programme (SBLP):
(i) SHGs are formed, financed and promoted by banks; the bank itself acts as a Self-Help Group
Promoting Institution (SHPI) (Model 1);
2. SHG-Bank Linkage Programme & Trend of its Effective Intervention in Economic Upliftment
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 2
(ii) SHGs are formed by formal agencies like NGOs and others (other than banks) but directly financed by
banks (Model 2); and
(iii) SHGs are promoted by NGOs but financed by banks through NGOs and other agencies as financial
intermediaries (Model 3).
The second model, where SHGs are formed and nurtured by NGOs, has emerged as most popular among the
bankers. The need for an alternative credit delivery mechanism in the form of SBLP was felt because despite the
phenomenal expansion of the organised banking system, a very large number of the poor continued to remain
excluded from the formal banking system (Ghosh, 2012). SBLP was evolved as a strategy of „Financial
Inclusion‟ of poor households by extending outreach, making available to them formal financial services
including both savings and credit in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. It involves setting up of small,
cohesive, participative and homogeneous groups of poor people encouraging them to pool their savings, which
can be lent out to group members for meeting their credit needs, either for consumption or income generating
activities on mutually agreed upon maturity term, interest rate and other conditions.
SBLP was an attempt to bring the unbanked poor into the formal banking system and to inculcate among the
poor the thrift and credit habits, a natural corollary is for the group members to graduate into seeking more and
better livelihood opportunities with access to credit (Nandal & Hooda, 2015). It has grown at a tremendous pace
and emerged as the most prominent means of delivering micro-finance services. We will examine this forging
bridge between the financially deprived and the formal financial services in India.
Recognizing the importance of financial inclusion in overall economic development of people, the banking
sector has been proactive in expanding microfinance through expansion of savings and credit linkage of SHGs.
Commercial Banks by virtue of their vast network took the lead in SHG-BLP. More than half (54.7 lakh, 53.4
per cent) of the SHGs in the country maintain their savings account with the Commercial Banks. On the other
hand, 32.6 Lakh (31.8 per cent) SHGs maintain their savings bank account with RRBs. The cooperatives
continued with their subdued performance under SHG-BLP with 14.7 per cent SHGs and 10.2 per cent of
savings outstanding. Bank-wise status of outstanding, disbursement and NPAs occured of SHGs from 2015 to
2020 is given in the tables below.
II. Literature Review
SHG– Bank Linkage programme had proved its efficiency as a main stream programme for Banking
and emerged as one of the need-based policies to cater the neglected groups of society such as woman, poor and
deprived sections of rural areas. The beautiful advantages of the programme are on time repayment of loans to
banks, reduction in transaction cost to the poor and to the banks, door-step savings and credit facilities to the
poor and exploitation of the untapped business potential in rural India. The government of India and State
governments should formulate and redefine their strategies and policies such a way to stress on extensive
awareness campaign, skill development and training programmes, co–ordination between banks and SHGs,
effective flow of credit need for strong follow– up in those states where it is yet at nascent stage (Nagaraju &
Sreekrishna, 2017).
SHG movement among the rural poor in different parts of the country is emerging as a very reliable and
efficient mode for technology transfer. SHG is agreed to be one of the effective means of empowerment of
women to facilitate rural development, building solidarity and socio-economic betterment of the poor (Pradeep
& Rakshitha, 2016).
Banking institutions play a significant role in the economic development of a country. There are certain issues
of concern that affect their performance and efficiency. One of the major issues is the credit risk involved in the
banking sector. According to the Narasimhan Committee, Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) are considered as one
of the important indicators of profitability and efficiency of any bank. Lesser NPAs indicate a better position of
a bank in terms of solvency. More NPAs lead to less profit because of non-repayment of interest and principal
amount of loan by the creditors, thereby effecting the overall profitability of a bank. Under the SBLP, SHGs are
linked to a bank where these groups are provided financial services for the benefits of their members. Credit
disbursed to a SHG under this scheme is without collaterals. The credit disbursed under this scheme increases
the risk for the banks (Arora & Singh, 2015).

IV. Methodology
The secondary literature is drawn in house, which consists of reports from Ministry of Rural
Development and NABARD. This paper is basically descriptive and analytical in nature, prepared with the help
of secondary sources, consisting of exploration of already existing literatures from various research journals,
articles and authorized websites. The information from survey of various literatures, thus, is collected and
compiled, in both tabular and diagrammatic representation, for overall understanding. The literature is cross
checked and validated to give the latest information.
V. Estimated Coverage
Not much of the glaring differences is seen in terms of estimated no. of families covered by SHGs in
the last five years. It has, somewhat shown a rising trend.

VI. Loan Disbursement
Commercial Banks have a robust share in the credit flow to SHGs with disbursement of Rs 48,431
crore to 17.9 lakh SHGs. In 2020, loan disbursement by Commercial Banks increased from Rs 34,492 crore to
Rs 48,431 crore registering a growth of 40.4% and an increase of 18.7% of SHGs as compared to the year 2018-
19. RRBs have registered a considerable jump from 30.78 lakh to 32.61 lakh of SHGs registering a growth of
5.9% in number of SHGs and 23.93% in quantum of loan disbursed to SHGs during 2019-20. Cooperative
banks have extended credit of R4,996.6 crore to 2.56 lakh SHGs during this period recording an increase of 16.9
4. SHG-Bank Linkage Programme & Trend of its Effective Intervention in Economic Upliftment
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 4
per cent in the quantum of credit disbursed and an increase of 4.7 per cent in the number of SHGs respectively
as compared to the year 2018-19. This implies an improvement in the average credit disbursement of loans to
SHGs by Cooperatives during the years. The average loan disbursement of R2.69 lakh per SHG by Commercial
banks remains the highest during 2019-20. It was significantly higher (18.3 per cent) than the previous year.
RRBs also recorded an increase in the average credit disbursement during 2019-20.

Fig. 3: Trend of agency-wise total outstanding bank loans against SHGs from 2015-16 to 2019-20:
VIII. Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) of SHGs
The overall NPA rate in bank loan to SHGs was 4.92 percent as on 31.03.20 registering a fall of 27
basis points from the previous level of 5.19 per cent. All categories of banks have reduced their NPA level
during 2019-20. The RRBs have reduced their NPA level from 4.87 per cent in 2018-19 to 4.37 per cent in
2019-20. Similarly, Cooperatives have reduced their NPA level from 6.69 per cent in 2018-19 to 5.99 percent in
2019-20. Out of the total NPA amount of R5,322 crore, the Commercial Banks with R3,605 crore accounted for
two thirds of the share with an increase of 3.7 percent over the previous year. The absolute level of NPA in case
of RRBs was R1,325 crore in 2019-20 as against R1,274 crore in 2018-19 whereas for Commercial Banks there
was a surge in the absolute NPA amount from 2,897 crore in 2018-19 to R3,605 crore in 2019-20.
Since NPA is a loan or advance for which the principal or interest payment remained overdue for a period of 90
days, there are still other factors that determine and contribute to overdue of payment. In 2019, the National
Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR) has conducted a research study on NPAs by
SHGs. It found that poor economic conditions, non-cooperation, lack-of training, expenses towards marriages,
6. SHG-Bank Linkage Programme & Trend of its Effective Intervention in Economic Upliftment
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 6
social ceremonies and medical emergencies are the main reasons for non-payment of loans by SHGs.
Expectations of loan waiver from the government was also found to be a major reason for the poor financial
health of SHGs. The role played by banks in handholding, timely opening accounts, monitoring and follow-up
was not as per the expectation.1

IX. Suggestions
Training SHGs and providing them market linkages for the products/services so that they use the funds for
income generating activity and have no problem in paying back the loan amount should be done by the
government. In addition, providing group health and life insurance clubbed with loans at low cost will help
as members spend a significant portion of the loan on events like ill-health, ceremonies etc.
It needs to be ensured that grading of SHGs needs to be done properly and loans should be issued only if it
is found suitable for lending. Follow-ups and constant monitoring is a must.
Quantum of loan should be high as it is a major limiting factor, one-time lending not only impedes the
process of business expansion but also wastes the money lent so far. Banks need to be sensitized to lend
multiple doses of credit, for well performing SHGs.1

X. Conclusion
SHG Bank Linkage programme is an effective intervention in economic upliftment and financial
inclusion for those at the bottom of the pyramid. A proven platform initially conceived for increasing the
outreach of banking services among the poor has since graduated to a programme for promotion of livelihoods
and poverty alleviation. All major parameters viz. the number of SHGs with bank loans outstanding and amount
of credit disbursed during the years, have shown positive growth during the past five years. However, the
growth of NPAs over a period of five years has shown declining trend from the agency point of view. Though
NPAs by SHGs are a major concern, it must not deter the government from supporting SHGs. Post lockdown,
there is an imperative need for economic revival and reconstruction. Each SHG loan sanctioned or enhanced,
will either facilitate spending or investment- the twin engines for driving an economy. Women SHGs have
contributed largely to the community response foe combatting the pandemic.
