Abstract

Abstract To foster financial inclusion and promote the growth of micro-entrepreneurship, the government of India had launched the MUDRA programme in 2015. The basic idea behind this government initiative is to provide help to micro-entrepreneurs in fulfilling their monetary needs and also making possible the establishment of more micro-finance institutions. The core ideology is the reduced dependence on government interventions and socialistic measures such as subsidy to a more self-reliant set of principles. The existing infrastructure of financial services has been used to implement the scheme. Through this paper, the author attempts to analyze the present trend of implementation of the scheme. The disbursement trend has been analyzed by referring to the government reports as well as scholarly and journalistic work in this field. The paper may provide a ready reference to scholars/academicians interested in the field of financial inclusion, micro-finance and government policies.
