  • Abstract:
  • The deficiencies of the banking services to the poor through Government- sponsored programme led to the search for an alternative mechanism which would ensure a better credit delivery system for the poor. The successful experiment with micro-credit in Bangladesh and other countries encouraged our policy-makers to introduce this innovative method in India. Reorientation of the rural credit delivery system became necessary consequent upon the introduction of several banking sector reforms in the early nineties. The Committee on Banking Sector Reforms said, "Banking policy should facilitate the evolution and growth of micro-credit institutions/ including LABs which focus on agriculture, tiny and small scale industries, including such specialist institutions as may be promoted by NGOs for meeting the banking needs of the poor. Third-tier banks should be promoted and strengthened lo be autonomous, vibrant, effective and competitive in their operations (RBI 1998)
