OVERVIEW OF THE CONFERENCE


GUIDELINES

The correlation between financial inclusion & economic
growth has long been widely recognized - low financial
inclusion impedes economic growth. Access to easy &
affordable credit by the disadvantaged social groups is
acknowledged as a key criterion for poverty alleviation &
reducing social inequity.
Given the size of the challenge & the heterogeneity of the
financially excluded segment, there cannot be an approach
or model which can be prescribed globally. Instead, models
which are contextual to the local consumer requirements are
required.
The intent of this Conference is to examine the critical
success factors & challenges that exist in the delivery of
financial inclusion in India. In doing so, issues / outcomes
will be examined from case studies in India & other parts of
the world. This Conference aims to provide key learnings
that policy makers, financial institutions & technology
providers can use to establish a collaborative business model
to deliver Financial Inclusion objectives.
