Rural Credit: A Historical Overview and Contemporary Views in India

Author(s)	J. Shalini
Country	India
Abstract	The issues experienced by the poor during this period are remarkably consistent, as this quick survey of rural finance in 20th-century India reveals. They include reliance on predatory lenders and the operation of an intricate web of exploitative, unreliable markets. We lay forth the theoretical and historical justification for nationalizing banks and show how it would benefit rural finance and development. Reforms were enacted in the 1990s as a result of some excesses. This did boost bank profits but at the expense of underdeveloped and impoverished areas. While the MFI lending model is unsustainable, the SHG-Bank Linkage strategy can improve security and empower the underprivileged. The issues that have persisted for the past 100 years require much more than microfinance.
