Financial Inclusion

by Sameer Kochhar (Editor), K.C. Chakrabarty (Editor), R. Chandrashekhar (Editor)

A compilation of action research and field visits across India during the last 10 years, this account focuses on various facets of financial inclusion. Ranging from opening up no-frills accounts and microcredit to discussing financial literacy and secure banking, this comprehensive record emphasizes the roles of process changes, technology enablement, capacity building, and outreach mechanism. A model of inclusive development—one that underscores the idea that inclusive economics and inclusive governance support each other—is also included.
