 Financial Inclusion and Inclusive Growth:
Prospect & Retrospect
October 28-30, 2010
India's Economic performance in
recent years has been among the best in the
world. The reforms initiated since the early
Nineties have unshackled the economy and
the long term growth has steadily
increased. India has been able to withstand
the recent global economic crisis, sustain
itself and is expected to rebound to the pre-
recession rates of growth. As the economy
grows, it should be ensured that growth is
inclusive. Inclusive growth is required for
sustainability of overall economic growth
and development. While a high pace of
growth over extended periods of time is
often the main contributing factor to reduce
poverty and promote inclusive growth, it
has been felt that policy initiatives and
interventions are also necessary.
The Thrust of Eleventh Five Year plan
has been on inclusive growth where it is
said that the poor should be enabled to
participate in the economy through
inclusive measures rather than being
beneficiaries of public largesse.
To achieve inclusive growth, it is
imperative that the poor should be provided
access to affordable livelihood finance, risk
mitigation products and other financial
products and services such as micro
pensions, micro savings and investment
products. Therefore FINANCIAL
INCLUSION is one of the major keys to
inclusive growth.
Financial inclusion:
Financial Inclusion has been defined as
the delivery of credit and other financial
services at an affordable cost to the vast
section of the disadvantaged and low
income groups. Access to affordable
financial services especially credit and
insurance enlarges livelihood opportunities
and empowers the poor to take charge of
their life. Such empowerment aids social,
economic and political stability.
However, Financial Inclusion has to be in
sync with real sector inclusion. Access to
finance is important, access to real assets is
equally important. Efforts have, therefore, to be
made to enable people to create real assets
through access to infrastructure, education,
etc… along with access to financial services
and all these should be supported by sound
administrative and governance measures.
While it is perceived that inclusive growth is
the duty or responsibility of the state, the
corporate, NGOs and every other stakeholder,
the fact which is often missed out is that,
inclusive growth also presents a business
opportunity. It not only creates a robust
environment for sustainable economy, but also
has the potential for contributing to overall
economic growth by adding numbers to the
economic and financial mainstream.
The School of Management Studies,
University of Hyderabad has therefore deemed
it appropriate to organize a National Seminar on
“Financial Inclusion and Inclusive Growth
th th
Prospect & Retrospect” during 28 to 30
October, 2010 to deliberate on these issues.
Objectives of the Seminar:
w To understand and discuss the significance,
objectives, implications and imperatives of
financial inclusion and inclusive growth.
w To identify the opportunities and explore the
possible avenues for inclusion.
w To discuss the role of managers in the
government, banking and financial sector,
corporate world, NGOs and management
education and institutions in strengthening
and streamlining measures for financial
inclusion and inclusive growth.
