This research study would look into the steps to be initiated at the policy level for deriving the benefits of financial inclusion, as it can be an effective means of empowerment of impoverished. The study would cover four states of southern India-Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The study will review the existing pattern of the bank customers, the type of facilities rendered and the problem of access for inclusive financial services.The study recognizes that though there are many new initiatives recently introduced such as credit linkages of SHGs with the banking system and the entry of micro-finance institutions, they are yet to make significant impact on raising the income levels to the beneficiaries. There is, therefore, an imperative need to enlarge the horizon of the financial institutions for financial inclusion. This study would provide a conceptual framework for future action by all agencies concerned in this direction. | | Institute Ranked “A” Grade in B-School Survey | The Annual B-School Survey of Business India has ranked the Institute as a ‘A –Category’ B-School Consequtely for the fourth year.
