Financial inclusion is a vision for every country to achieve so that it can provide quality services to its citizens. Govt.

Financial inclusion has been successful in other countries India is also trying this for all time to achieve this goal. Access to affordable financial services would lead to increasing economic actions and employment opportunities for rural households with a possible multiplier effect on the financial system. Financial inclusion could enable a higher disposable income in the hands of rural households leading to greater savings and a wider deposit base for banks and other financial institutions. So i thought it would be better to study financial inclusion (PRADHAN MANTRI JAN-DHAN YOJANA) how it would help the people and economy as a whole.

Poverty and social exclusion have continued to pose major challenges to governments all over the world. Poverty is a global phenomenon which affects all states at different levels and is not limited to the developing countries only. Both poverty and social exclusion are conditions relating to the denial of or absence of opportunities and resources, this affects participation in society on equal terms with others. The affected individuals are often in situations where ordinary basic needs for survival are denied or cannot be acquired. (Vienna declaration 1993)
Even though poverty is a huge issue in America, there is hope for the impoverished. If the government stresses the seriousness of poverty and teaches people how to save money, poverty will decrease. Living in Poverty is our own fault. “It is based on bad choices, not a bad economy. The poor are getting poorer because of the lack of education, and knowledge of their futures; which is the second demographic characteristic of poverty. The ranks of the impoverished overflow with high school dropouts who are at a great disadvantage in today’s increasingly knowledgable economy’’ (Malanga 1).
The government of India has suggested an approach called the MGNREGA for poverty reduction. This program was launched in September 2005 by the central government of India. The major focus of the scheme is that it provides 100 days of paid employment to every household from rural areas. The goal of the act is to increase earnings of the villagers. Adult members of households do a wide range of laborious work which does not require any specific skills. What is more, the program has covered sufficient amounts of slow-developing rural areas of India: 200 – in the first st...
Making improvements on our financial literacy results in a wave of impacts on our economy and the financial health in our society because of responisble behiavior with our finances. These modifications to our behavior are neccesary because it let's us address primary cultural problems, for example over-credits on your purchases, mortgages possibly resulting in debt, dealing with expectations on inflation and also planning on your retirement.
When people have low levels of financial literacy, they often make unproductive financial decisions. Consumers spend their money in suboptimal ways, borrow more than savings, and hence miss opportunities for investing. Through communicating the knowledge, taking advice about financial problems, developing skills, and attitudes associated with money management, financial education can offer communities to be successful in commercial world by using means to use their scarce financial resources more effectively and efficiently. It will enable people to choose the financial services and products that best meet their needs.

Likewise, if one starts to save money from now there will not be any financial difficulty in future. This all will contribute people to be wise when handling finance resulting to lift the poverty line for the
Financial liberalization is a process whereby restrictions on financial markets and financial institutions are eliminated which involves the removal of controls by the government namely, credit and interest rate controls. In the early 1970’s, the research on financial liberalization was initiated by McKinnon and Shaw (1973) who argued that state control of credit, interest rate and other financial variables was responsible for the retarding economic growth in the world economy (Abiad, Detragiache & Tressel, 2008). McKinnon and Shaw (1973) emphasized that allowing market forces to determine economic variables
Financial literacy is vital to the average young adult, going into college and the working world, and in turn financial literacy should be a required course that each student should take before they leave high school. Financial literacy by definition means “the ability to understand how money works in the world: how someone manages to earn or make it, how that person manages it, how he/she invests it (turn it into more) and how that person donates it to help others.” Indeed Financial Literacy should be a required course for any student, Because of The college student needing to know how to make money, how to use that money efficiently, and the importance of spending money on certain things.

It fosters financial stability for individuals, families and entire communities’. Professor Ram Karan in Financial Education Unit, 2013. Argue for and/or against this statement.
A world without finance is difficult to imagine, hence finance stands as the soul of economic activities and institutions that mobilize funds to enhance productive activities and improve the welfare of citizens should be encouraged. Mobilization and channeling of credits between economic units by financial institutions to fund productive activities that will accelerate economic growth remain the bedrock of financial intermediaries. Schumpeter, a foremost economist identified the importance of financial institutions in stimulating economic growth through the provision of credit to the productive sector. Schumpeter, in 1934 recognized the role of banks in facilitating technological
To study and analyze recent standing of Financial Inclusion in the Jammu and Kashmir State.
Poverty remains a long term continuing condition for around 30 per cent of India’s rural population. rural poverty has declined over the past 30 years because of rural to urban migration.
Most poor people manage to mobilize resources to develop their enterprises and their dwellings slowly over time. Financial services could enable the poor to leverage their initiative, accelerating the process of building incomes, assets and economic security. However, conventional financial institutions seldom lend down-market to serve the needs of low-income families and women-headed households. They are very often denied access to credit for any purpose, making the discussion of the level of interest rate and other terms of finance irrelevant. Therefore, the fundamental problem is not so much of unaffordable terms of loan but rather of the lack of access to credit itself.
The first and arguably most common effect of poverty on society is its financial impact (Veritta, 2008). In many of the societies that experienced significantly high levels of poverty, debt was increasingly common, and especially debt accrued from moneylenders (Hatcher, 2016). For many individuals living in poverty, access to financial services such as banking is often stifled and rudimentary, making it difficult for such individuals to access self-improvement loans at standard and fair rates (Yoshikawa, Aber, & Beardslee, 2012). For these individuals, moneylenders are the best option available, which results in them paying exorbitant interest rates. The interconnection between poverty and finance, however, is cyclic in nature. The lack of finances or access to financial services causes poverty, which in turn causes an isolation of individuals from finances and financial services (Hickey & du Toit, 2013). This makes poverty a fairly complex problem to
