DICIC BANK OF INDIA .
Microfinance means giving small loans, savings options, and financial services to low-income individuals or small businesses.
Imagine a woman in a village who wants to start a small tailoring business but doesn’t have money. A financial institution gives her a small loan (₹5,000–₹50,000) so she can buy a sewing machine and start earning.
Microfinance services are designed to empower low-income individuals by providing access to small loans, savings, insurance, and other basic financial tools that are otherwise unavailable through traditional banks. The main goal is to reduce poverty by helping people start or grow small businesses, generate steady income, and become financially independent, while also promoting social development—especially among women and rural communities—by improving their standard of living and economic stability.
