1.1 Background History of MicrofinanceOver the past centuries practical visionaries, from the Franciscan monks who founded the

community-oriented pawnshops of the 15th century, to the founders of the Europeancredit

union movement in the 19th century (such asFriedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen) and the founders

of the microcredit movement in the 1970s (such asMuhammad Yunus) have tested practices

arid built institutions designed to bring the kinds of opportunities and risk-management

tools that financial services can provide to the doorsteps of poor people. While the success

of the Grameen Bankhas inspired the world, it has proved difficult to replicate this success.

In nations with lower population densities, meeting the operating costs of a retail branch by

serving nearby customers has proven considerably more challenging.The history of

microfinancing can be traced back as long to the middle of the 1800s when the theorist

Lysander Spooner was writing over the benefits from small credits to entrepreneurs and

farmers as a way getting the people out of poverty. The modem use of the expression

"microfinancing" has roots in the 1970s when organizations, such as Grameen Bank of

Bangladesh with the microfmance pioneerMuhammad Yunus, were starting and shaping the

modem industry of microfinancing.

Role of MFI.MFIs could play a significant role in facilitating inclusion, as they areuniquely positioned in

reaching out to the rural poor. Many of them operate in alimited geographical area, have

greater understanding of the issues specific to therural poor, enjoy greater acceptability

amongst the rural poor and have flexibility inoperations providing a level of comfort to their

clientele. lt is roughly estimated that there are about 1,000 NGO-MFIs and more than 20

Company MFIs. Further, in Andhra Pradesh, nearly 30,000 cooperative organizations are

engaged in MF activities. However, the company MFIs are major players accounting for over

80% of the microfinance loan portfolio.

Why MicrofinanceTraditionally, banks have not provided financial services, such as loans, to clients with little

or no cash income. Banks incur substantial costs to manage a client account, regardless of

Page 4: Project Ready

how small the sums of money involved. The fixed cost of processing loans of any size is

considerable as assessment of potential borrowers, their repayment prospects and security;

administration of outstanding loans, collecting from delinquent borrowers, etc., has to be

done in all cases. There is a break-even point in providing loans or deposits below which

banks lose money on each transaction they make. Poor people usually fall below that

breakeven point. A similar equation resists efforts to deliver other financial services to poor

people. In addition, most poor people have few assets that can be secured by a bank as

collateral. As documented extensively by Hernando de Soto and others, even if they happen

to own land in the developing world, they may not have effective title to it. This means that

the bank will have little recourse against defaulting borrowers. Seen from a broader

perspective, the development of a healthy national financial system has long been viewed

as a catalyst for the broader goal of national economic development. However, the efforts

of national planners and experts to develop financial services for most people have often

failed in developing countries.

Because of these difficulties, when poor people borrow they often rely on relatives or a local

moneylenders who usually charge higher rates to poorer borrowers than to less poor ones.

These reasons highlight the need for microfinance.

Page 5: Project Ready

1.2 Object of study:My project work is based on the following objectives

To acquire conceptual knowledge about microfinance.

To know the areas where these types finance is required.

To know the current scenario of microfinance in India.

To generate an idea regarding it is global scenario.

To make a clear view microfinance regarding it is future prospects.

1.3 Need of study:My project work has been done with some objectives. So it serves some utility which is summarized as follows-

It helps some small and medium scale businessman regarding arrangement of there

capital.

It helps to provide the current scenarios of India for need of microfinance.

It also creates awareness among general people.

Page 6: Project Ready

1.4 Literature review: Microfinance: A Comprehensive Review of the Existing LiteratureThroughout the world, poor people are excluded from formal financial systems.

Exclusion ranges from partial exclusion in developed countries to full or nearly full exclusion

in lesser developed countries (LDCs). Absent access to formal financial services, the poor

have developed a wide variety of informal, community-based financial arrangements to

meet their financial needs. 1 In addition, over the last two decades, an increasing number of

formal sector organizations (non-government, government, and private) have been created

for the purpose of meeting those same needs. Microfinance is the term that has come to

refer generally to such informal and formal arrangements offering financial services to the

poor.

Although the word finance is in the term microfinance, and the core elements of

microfinance are those of the finance discipline, microfinance has yet to break into the

mainstream or entrepreneurial finance literature. The purpose of this article is to introduce

the finance academic community to the discipline of micro finance and microfmance

institutions (MFIs). We provide a comprehensive review of over 350 articles and address the

issues of MFI sustainability, products and services, management practices, clientele

targeting, regulation and policy, and impact assessment.

1.5 limitation of study like all other project my project is not free from limitation the limitation are as follows –

The time period for project ark is very short. Details study cannot be done with in 3

month.

Since mast of data an collected from Wed sites and journals and books, so 100%

accuracy can not be provided.

Some important data grading companies always not available.

Data Collection

This exploratory study is based on a solid theoretical framework. Secondary literature on the

research topic is reviewed and the theoretical structure is build up, aiming at functioning as

a clear and comprehensive basis of the thesis.The secondary data is of specific use to get an

insight into the field of study. A general overview has been established in a bid to define the

area of the report as well as its limitation and to identify particular variables of interest for

further investigation. In addition, it will assist in how to approach the primary research and

the design, content and conduction of the questionnaires. Information on CRM and

microfinance are collected from books from the university library, scientific articles from

online libraries and journals as well as company reports and reliable websites. In order to

obtain important background information and knowledge about the field of research,

different sources of data were used.

By means of creating a deeply rooted theoretical part, terms and definitions, the underlying

questions concerning issues that determine long-term efficiency of MFIs and how

confidence and trust play a role in order to gain competitive advantage through customer

satisfaction and customer retention could be elucidated. Moreover, controversial views of

various authors on the research matter are illustrated and evaluated. Although secondary

data are collected for a specific purpose differing from the research questions of this thesis,

it is chosen to make use of secondary data, because larger data sets could be analyzed.

Chapter-1Conceptual Frame work

andNational & International Scenario.

Page 10: Project Ready

Conceptual Frame workSelf-help group:A self-help group (SHG) is a village-based financial intermediary usually composed of 10-20

local women. A Self-Help Group may be registered or unregistered. It typically comprises a

group of micro entrepreneurs having homogenous social and economic backgrounds, all

voluntarily coming together to save regular small sums of money, mutually agreeing to

contribute to a common fund and to meet their emergency needs on the basis of mutual

help. They pool their resources to become financially stable, taking loans from the money

collected by that group and by making everybody in that group self-employed. The group

members use collective wisdom and peer pressure to ensure proper end-use of credit and

timely repayment. This system eliminates the need for collateral and is closely related to

that of solidarity lending, widely used by micro finance institutions. To make the book-

keeping simple enough to be handled by the members, flat interest rates are used for most

loan calculations.

Joint Liability Groups:A Joint Liability Group (JLG) is an informal group comprising preferably of 4 to 10 individuals

coming together for the purposes of availing bank loan either singly or through the group

mechanism against mutual guarantee.

The JLG members are mostly engaged in similar type of economic activity in the

Agriculture/Allied/Non-Farm sector. The JLG members offer a joint undertaking to the Bank

that enables them to avail loans.

The management of the JLG is simple with little or no financial administration.

Page 11: Project Ready

Individual Lending:-In order to it’sobjectives, MFIs have started thinking beyond group lending as the only credit

delivery methodology to individual lending systems - indeed this is a clearly defined global

trend in microfinance. This toolkit specifically targets Credit Officers. They must take a client

through the lending process, from the first introduction to the MFI and products to full

repayment of the loan. In some institutions, they underwrite several different types of

loans, as well as sell many different types of bank products.

Microfinance is typically associated with joint liability of group members. Interestingly, our

analysis predicts that individual lending in microfinance will gain in importance in the future

if microfinance institutions continue to get better access to capital markets and if

competition further rises.

Microfinance Products

In developing economies and particularly in the rural areas, many activities that would be

classified in the developed world as financial are not monetized: that is, money is not used

to carry them out. But circumstances often arise in their lives in which they need money or

the things money can buy.

In Stuart Rutherford’s recent book The Poor and Their Money, he cites several types of

needs:

Lifecycle Needs: such as weddings, funerals, childbirth, education etc.

Personal Emergencies: such as sickness, injury, unemployment, theft etc.

Disasters: such as fires, floods, cyclones and man-made events etc.

Investment Opportunities', expanding a business, buying land or equipment,

securing a job etc.

National & International ScenarioLegal Structure:-Microfinance institutions in India are registered as one of the following five entities:

Non Government Organizations engaged in microfinance (NGO-MFIs), comprised of

Societies and Trusts.

Cooperatives registered under the conventional state-level cooperative acts, the national

level multi-state cooperative legislation Act (MSCA 2002 ), or under the new state-level

mutually aided cooperative acts (MACS Act)

Section 25 Companies (not-for-profit)

Human Development Programme:- Institutional Building:-

Under human resources development programmes SUWS has extended necessary co-

operation to the people, namely the women and marginalized to form institutions or

primary groups. These groups have expanded upwards to form bodies and apex

organization that influence local

Page 19: Project Ready

government to form policies which in turn helps to attain empowerment for women and the

disadvantaged as well as the marginalized members of the society.

Savings:-

SUWS has inculcated the habit of saving among the members through institutions as savings

enable the members to build up their own capitals which can help them when it is badly

needed.

It is also experienced that saving habit develops self-confidence which helps to proceed

further in the life and as such, SUWS has provided necessary guidance as to how they should

deploy their fund arising out of saving for its gainful utilization.

Credit:-

Credit support is extended for various activities e.g. to increase employment opportunity, to

build up production facility, to develop resources of the community as well as income

generating opportunities of the institutions and its members. Since the borrowers do not

possess any tangible security to offer, credit is extended without any collateral security and

it makes a difference with other moneylenders. Trust posed on the institution by the

borrower based on relationship established and unseen assurance to stand as a friend in

need, drive them to pay back the dues.

Education Programme:-SUWS is engaged in establishing education right from its inception not only for the children,

but also for the adults belonging to the age group 15 year and above. It is engaged, not only

in removing illiteracy among them, but also helps them in developing technical skills, which

is essential now a days.

Page 20: Project Ready

Chapter-4

Conclusion

Page 27: Project Ready

We firmly believe that an integrated approach to servicing clients can enhance

microfinance’s effectiveness as a poverty alleviation tool. By acting as a platform to deliver

important social services along with credit and financial services, MFIs can contribute to

greater sustainability at the client level. Integrating microfinance with social services such as

health, education and natural disaster relief or prevention addresses the other contributing

factors to poverty beyond the economic factor. In doing so, we are providing clients with a

comprehensive solution to minimize the risks they face.

By addressing the very issues that inhibit a client’s chances of succeeding with microfinance,

microfinance can increase its overall efficacy.

With leveraged resources - assets, infrastructure, knowledge, distribution channels, etc. - we

can increase the capacity of the service offerings to reach more clients and to reach them

more effectively. By partnering with other critical social providers and businesses and

serving as a platform, microfinance can offer other organizations with a distribution channel

to reach individuals in need, share experiences in working in a particular region and

community, and offer countless other tangible and intangible products and services.

As an entrenched and recognized leader in this mission, microfinance can serve as a bridge

beyond banking and development. It can be the link that brings together the services and

products available today to the people who need them most. Only through a collective

effort will we have the best chance of succeeding.
