| Summary, etc. |
The religious minorities in India constitute eighteen percent of population (2001) Census) numbering 18.94 crore. Several measures have been taken for upliftment of minorities through various programmes such as term-loan, micro-finance, educational loan, capacity building of targeted groups, etc. Government of India has also covered minorities under Swaranjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) by creating assets for their economic upliftment. Micro-finance is a financial service provided by financial institutions to the economically poor sections of the society so that it becomes viable for them to fulfill their basic requirements. The present article finds that micro-finance is one of the conducive approaches for economic development of the minorities and it should be continued for their sustainable economic development because it is one of the important aspects of social development, which promotes education, health, family welfare and other parameters of an improved living standard. - Reproduced. |
