Abstract:
Traditionally, women all over the world have been saving time in their busy schedule to share with others. Kitty parties allow women to move from the humdrum of normal life to meet friends and engage. They provide women with a way to establish friendships, share grievances, practice self-care, and find comfort in the sisters built during this encounter. Each month, a group of women come together for a cat party filled with local music, games, and local delicacies. During this circle, each guest contributes a set amount of money to a bag called a kitty. This kitty is designed for a specific member every month. At the end of the kitty party, that member takes his or her winning money home and is responsible for hosting the next kitty party. This process continues until all the women in the group have found the kitty once, and then it starts again. This paper is focused for micro finance through kitty party.

Abstract:
Micro-finance plays an important role in rendering financial services to financially and economically backward people. It has many social as well as economic implications such as curtailment of poverty, improvement in standard of living, financial literacy, women empowerment and economic growth of the nation. Micro-finance not only provides microcredit but also various services like deposits, insurance, money transfer, payment services, saving, etc. In a developing country like India where a large portion of the population is living below poverty and a large number of people are unable to get access to traditional banking services, the importance of microfinance cannot be undetermined. With the aim of developing financial inclusion and equality, the idea of micro-finance acts as an alternative source to provide loans to poor people. This research paper is based on secondary data which discusses the concept of micro-finance and also focuses on identifying the current scenario and the role of micro-finance in the growth and development of India.

Abstract:
The present study tries to identify the role of micro finance in the changing tourism development scenario as it is one of the option for the inclusive growth. Many developing countries consider promoting tourism as a main strategy for achieving economic growth. The tourism sector is mainly organized through micro and small-scale enterprises. In developing countries due to lack of access to credit and other finance, do not consider them as clients and government support is only aimed at attracting foreign direct investments (FDI), and not oriented towards expansion of domestic business in tourism. Financial sector modernization in some developing countries has been pushed in recent years through Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). They deliver credit to micro and small enterprises and contribute to poverty reduction by providing poor people to access financial services. Micro Finance Institutions have an ability to create a positive impact on the development of tourism industry, particularly in emerging countries. Over the years, micro-finance as well as tourism sectors have been promoted independently. Till now, in tourism destinations, these MFIs are unable to close finance gap in supply and demand for finance.

Abstract:
Micro finance institutions play a significant role in economic development of India. Such institutions provide financial access to lower income people. These institutions are very helpful for poor people who lack access of banking services. Micro finance institutions provide a large variety of financial and non-financial services to people including credit, counseling, and training. Such institutions are necessary to achieve rural development, financial inclusion and women empowerment. Today micro finance institutions are faced many problems. Problems of non-performing assets are considered as a big challenge for micro finance institutions. Financial illiteracy, lack of speedy generation of funds, lack of proper infrastructure, political interference and competition are the other challenges faced by micro finance institutions. This chapter made an attempt to analyze the problems faced by micro finance institutions and understand the role of micro finance in rural development

Abstract:
The development of the rural economy that is poor and mainly depended on the performance and formation of the MFI's in the country. The world's largest poor population is living in India and the development and the financial needs of their families can be fulfilled by the MFI's only because other financial institutions required loan security or collaterals for the loans and these people do not have these. There are more than 12000 MFI's are present in the world and more than 223 MFI's are in the Indian country who are working in various rural economy sectors and states of the country. According to the Kuznet the inequality in the developing countries are always higher side and in India it is observed that the 55 percent of the total wealth has been owned by the 10 percent people of the country and rest have the others. The pioneer of the Micro Finance in India is Anyonya Co Operative Bank Ltd. Who started in 1889 with the capital of Rs. 79. The MFI's are mainly working in the loans for agriculture development, machinery and equipments of the agriculture services, animal husbandry, handicrafts, trading, local based business and new production activities.

Abstract:
Purpose The aim of this paper is to propose and verify a structured model for Islamic micro-finance in Bangladesh. The Islamic micro-investment model (IMIM) aims to harness the role of the Waqf/philanthropic sector to empower micro-entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach The researchers use the survey technique to investigate the micro-entrepreneurs’ intention to adopt the model. A total of 400 questionnaires are distributed with 207 responses being returned (51.75 per cent). In this study, a structural model is tested to examine the relationship of the behavioural intention to adopt Islamic micro-investment with the attitude towards behaviour, subjective norm, normative belief and behavioural belief. Findings The findings of the research show that, overall, the model fits the data and can be used to advance Islamic micro-finance in Bangladesh. However, out of the four hypotheses tested, only two are accepted vis-à-vis the influence of behavioural belief and normative belief on attitude and subjective norm, respectively. Research limitations/implications The research suggests the need for an awareness programme on Islamic micro-finance and the role of Waqf in the economic empowerment of the populace. Practical implications The IMIM aims to harness the role of the Waqf/philanthropic sector to empower micro-entrepreneurs. Social implications The model of Islamic micro-finance may empower poor micro-entrepreneurs and harnesses the potential of Waqf for socio-economic development, thereby, among others, reducing the cost of capital. Originality/value Only a few studies have been conducted on micro-finance from an Islamic perspective in Bangladesh. The IMIM, which has been developed by Muhammad (2012) and tested in Nigeria, is the first to be validated through an empirical study in Bangladesh. Thus, testing the viability of IMIM in the Bangladesh context will certainly add value for the clients, institutions and policymakers in Islamic micro-finance.

Abstract:
This paper examines the effects of women’s participation in group-based micro-credit pro-grams on a large set of qualitative responses to questions that characterize women’s autonomy and gender relations within the household. The data come from a special survey carried out in hill and tarai in 2004-2006 of Nepal. The results are consistent with the view that women’s participation in micro-credit programs helps to increase women’s empowerment. Credit program participation leads to women taking a greater role in household decision-making, having greater access to financial and economic resources, having greater social networks, having greater bargaining power compared with their husbands, and having greater freedom of mobility. Female credit also tended to increase spousal communication in general about family planning and parenting concerns. Ecologically, the higher impact on women’s empowerment was noticed in terai. The reason may be relatively lower social and economic status of terai women at the time of program initiation compared to that of hills. As a result, even a small change in their status would get reflected distinctly.

<div><p><em>Poverty is one of the biggest challenges to the development of a developing country like India where a major population is living in rural and semi-urban areas. Institutional credit is considered as a powerful tool for alleviating poverty. Microfinance is the supply of loans, savings, and other basic financial services to the poor. As the financial services of microfinance usually involve small amounts of money – small loans, small savings etc. the term "Microfinance" helps to differentiate these services from those of commercial banks. Microfinance in India has been through two channels of credit delivery to poor and low-income households–Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme (SBLP) and the Microfinance institutions lending through groups as well as directly to individuals. This study was with the overall objective of conducting a detailed analysis of interest rates, costs and margins of microfinance institutions. </em></p><p><em>This study highlights the reach and the impact on the customers and the channels used by these firms for the effectiveness of Micro Finance and Microcredit schemes.

Microfinance to the rural SHGs is a way to raise the income level and improve the living standards of the rural peoples.

Abstract:
The development of mobile and internet technologies has revolutionised every sector of the economy worldwide. Artificial intelligence has brought about the next wave of micro-finance revolution. Micro-finance has played a significant role in transforming lives of millions of households across the globe. The Micro-finance institutions (MFIs) are undergoing a digital transformation to save costs, determine credit worthiness of potential borrowers and risk. This conceptual paper focus on understanding how artificial intelligence is shaping the micro-finance sector in the 21st century. We review the literature to draw from different experiences of the micro-finance industry around the world and provides evidence from a Micro-finance Institution in Haryana, India. Both logistic regression and neural network (NN) methods was applied to the data of the MFI and results were compared. This article demonstrates how a credit scoring model can be applied for an India-based micro-finance company to estimate the relative importance of each factor involved in the probability of default. To identify the main causes of default by the micro-finance clients, a logistic regression model and Neural networks model was used and the latter was found to have better prediction power.

Abstract:
Microfinance is no panacea for the alleviation of poverty in the world. The environment influences its development. Legal frameworks, monitors and supervisors, its institutions and last but not least its customers with all their commitment play a major role for the success. Due to informational asymmetries, traditional financial markets are limited or fail to include poor households. Microfinance is able to overcome these imperfections and was developed especially for poor people suffering from financial exclusion and often dependent on informal sources such as exploitative moneylenders. The different benefits, characteristics and products of microfinance will be highlighted hereafter. First a general country profile will be given with the most important economic features such as the development of GDP, economic structure, inflation and unemployment rates. The latter raises concerns, especially among young academics.

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) act as indispensable financial intermediaries, providing small loans and services to individuals excluded from mainstream banking due to socio-economic constraints. Their significance lies in empowering marginalized communities, promoting financial inclusion, and fostering opportunities for income generation and entrepreneurship. Notably, microfinance contributes significantly to poverty alleviation and gender equality, particularly in empowering women, who often constitute a substantial portion of its beneficiaries. However, the effectiveness of microfinance in India faces multifaceted challenges. This paper addresses hurdles such as exorbitant interest rates, insufficient infrastructure, and the urgent need for effective regulation to prevent the exploitation of vulnerable borrowers Overall, this paper will find out the indispensable role of microfinance in India's economic development while acknowledging the challenges hindering its full potential. Unravelling these dynamics provides policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of microfinance in the Indian context, crucial for formulating informed strategies that foster sustained growth and ensure its continued positive impact on economic development. The insights gleaned from this study are vital for shaping the trajectory of microfinance in India.

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <em>In a country like India where 70 percent of its population lives in rural area and 60 percent depend on agriculture (according to the World Bank reports), micro-finance can play a vital role in providing financial services to the poor and low income individuals. Microfinance is the form of a broad range of financial services such as deposits, loans, payment services, money transfers, insurance, savings, micro-credit etc. to the poor and low income individuals. The importance of micro-finance in the developing economies like India cannot be undermined, where a large size of population is living under poverty and large number of people does not have an access to formal banking facilities. The taskforce on Supportive Policy and Regulatory Framework for Microfinance constituted by NABARD defined microfinance as &ldquo; the provision of thrift, saving, credit and financial services and products of very small amount to the poor&rsquo;s in rural, semi urban and urban areas for enabling them to raise their income level and improve their standard of living.&rdquo; (Sen, 2008) Micro-finance is regarded as a useful tool for socio-economic up-liftmen in a developing country like India. It is expected to play a significant role in poverty alleviation and development. There are two broad approaches that characterize the microfinance sector in India is Self Help Groups (SHGs)-Bank linkage programme and Microfinance Institution (MFIs). In India microfinance is dominated by Self Help Groups (SHGs)-Bank linkage programme aimed at providing a cost effective mechanism for providing financial services to the unreached poor. The present paper aims at identifying the current status and role of microfinance in the development of India. </em> <strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong>Microfinance; SHGs, MFIs; Status and Growth of Microfinance &nbsp;

Abstract:
COVID-19 pandemic has affected acutely the financial system and created several challenges to the financial institutions in terms of their existence and raised a question about its survival in future. Micro finance is playing a vital role in enhancing the financial strength of the society. Micro finance institutions offer financial services in the form of loans for various purposes to support low-income people and weaker sections of the society who have less access in commercial banks. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the liquidity conditions of low-income people and small business owners and they are unable to gather funds for their personal and business needs due to widespread lockdowns. The external private finance is falling due to the reason that the borrowers are unable to repay their loans and it has started to create pressure on institutions which cannot repay their deposits on time due to its poor liquidity conditions. Hence, this paper has made an attempt to study the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on micro finance institutions and measures taken to combat the situation.

Abstract:
Islamic micro-finance, despite being a small part of the Islamic finance industry, plays a significant role in poverty alleviation and financial inclusion activities. One of the key challenges facing Islamic micro-finance institutions (IMFIs) is the lack of measures of performance, which hinders the process of evaluating IMFIs’ performance and the dynamic growth of the micro-financing sector. Unlike the conventional financial sector, there have been few attempts to measure the performance of IMFIs. The knowledge of measures and determinants of success factors for IMFIs is limited and compounded by a lack of theoretical basis underpinning research in this area. This paper focuses on examining the performance measures of micro-financing institutions in Islamic micro-financing. The determination of IMFI success factors would assist in the external evaluation and internal improvements of IMFIs, which would contribute to a more dynamic micro-finance industry. Therefore, IMFIs should be evaluated not only on output and the outcome measures of both social and financial performance, but also the process and with a view of the entire value chain of financing, along with the internal process of fostering borrower cooperation to enable the achievement of well-being.

Poverty motivates women to develop their potential through opportunity, excellence, and equality. Attention to Islamic social finance namely zakat, infaq, sadaqa and waqf in Indonesia is increasing as awareness improves.

Abstract:
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) continue to be the global ‘flavour of the month’ in international development. They are regarded as “outside” actors perceived to work in the interests of the poor, and in the absence of the state, many NGOs have taken on vital role in the provision of basic services to the poor. The institutional and political environment is attuned to privatisation in whatever form it takes. NGOs are another expression of this trend, but in the case of NGOs no real disillusionment phase has yet set in. But still NGOs remain the favoured vehicle for grass-roots involvement and community development in many countries. The present paper seeks to delineate the role of NGOs in micro finance and study their aggregate impact on poverty reduction in rural Pakistan as a result of micro finance efforts. The paper is organised in four sections. Section I commences with the concepts, promises and limitations of NGOs as a vehicle of micro finance. Section II summarises the record of performance of NGOs in Pakistan. In particular, the role, achievements and set-backs of two noted NGOs in Pakistan, Agha Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) and National Rural Support Programme (NRSP). Which are studied by examining aggregate impact of these NGOs on poverty reduction as result of their micro finance efforts. Section III examines the poverty profile and presents summary of the role of NGOs in the context of poverty lending and, finally Section IV concludes the analysis and proposes some policy recommendations.

There are varying underlying motivations for pursuing women empowerment. Some argue that women are amongst the poorest and the most vulnerable of the underprivileged and thus helping them should be a priority. Self-help groups intermediated by micro credit have been shown to have positive effects on women, with some of these impacts being ripple effects. Several recent assessment studies have also generally reported positive impacts In India, for example, microfinance is typically defined as the provision of thrift, credit and other financial services and products of very small amounts to the poor in rural, semi-urban or urban areas for enabling them to raise their income levels and improve living standards (NABARD, 2004. </em>
