Micro finance is the easy access to credit facility so that people can meet their need for funds.
Micro insurance is the suitable insurance products designed for target audience to hedge them from various risks.
This is all for today. We will see different aspects of financial inclusion and various initiatives taken by governments and RBI for achieving 100 % financial inclusion in detail in coming days.
