Abstract:
The article traces the evolution of the Microfinance revolution in India as a powerful tool for poverty alleviation and women empowerment. Where institutional finance failed Microfinance delivered, but the outreach is too small. There is a question mark on the viability of the Microfinance Institutions. There is a need for an all round effort to help develop the fledgling Microfinance Industry while tackling the tradeoff between outreach and sustainability.
