Manish Gupta  |  Added idea  "Inclusive Banking"  |  2 years ago
With barely 34 per cent of the population engaged in formal banking, India had the second highest number of households (about 135 million) excluded from banking services (Ref: BS- Nov7,2007) According to a BCG report titled 'The Next Billion...
Esha Johar  |  Supported idea  "Small scale investments"  |  2 years ago
Well said Sagar, I agree with you. The banks should turn their heads towards the small scale industries, which are showing rapid growth. The government should also come forward to support banks regarding this issue. This will create an impact in...
Kalgi Shah  |  Supported idea  "Small scale investments"  |  2 years ago
Yes I agree with you that people should be made aware in rural areas as now the world is globalizing...and India is a developing country so it should focus in every sector and area

NAGARAJAN B  |  Added idea  "LACK OF BASIC EDUCTION IN BANKING"  |  2 years ago
The major obstacles in generating financial inclusion for Urban Poor is lack of understanding of basic rights allowing the touts to take over their interests. Urban Poor is mainly less educated but theyvery well understand Business  finance
chandra shekhar  |  Supported idea  "CUSTOMISATION OF SERVICES"  |  2 years ago
Technology is a great enabler.  Only, it should be made to use for us.  The RBI has already permitted Banks to introduce Bio-Metric based (i.e. capturing of finger prints and identifying the customer through it ) smart cards in rural india for...

I agree with this report. Mutual fund's growing demand is not surprising. They indeed are far better than Mutual funds and can very easily make us rich. Mutual fund investors have the option of either making lump sum investments or investing...

India has around 403 million mobile users of whom, about 46% , or 187 million , don't even have bank accounts. People can do without bank accounts but not mobile phones. Nearly 400 million Indians have bank accounts. That’s less than 40% of the country’s population. About 40% Indians have check-in accounts. 51 out of every 100 Indians had bank accounts in 1993. This has marginally gone up to 54 in 2007. 59% of adult population in India has bank accounts and that there is a large gap between the coverage of banking services in urban and rural pockets. In rural India, the coverage among the adult population is 39% against 60% in urban India. This, of course, doesn’t necessarily mean that 60 o...

Esha Johar  |  Supported idea  "ADOPTION MODEL"  |  2 years ago
I agree with Ravi, the micro finance model used in rural development is being successful. So we can adopt the same model and make some changes according to the urban wants and needs. This will help to promote microfinance in urban India. By...
RAVI P  |  Added idea  "ADOPTION MODEL"  |  2 years ago
Yes. as truly said, micro finance will play major role in success of rural development.  Farm production has become costly, the small and marginal farmers not able to cope with the repayment system as the yield on production not creating...

1 Making sure that open No Frills Accounts are used
2 No problem - just popularise No Frill A/cs.
ASOKE KUSARI  |  Added idea  "No problem - just popularise No Frill A/cs."  |  2 years ago
There may not be any problem with No Frill A/s. This is all a savings account barring some minor aspects. In Banks one may open this a/c with Rs 50/- or without any money. Requirements of papers for KYC is bare menimum. No minimum balance...
Swati Raut  |  Added idea  "Making sure that open No Frills Accounts are used"  |  2 years ago
What needs to be done is to come up with a sure-fire to make sure that No Frills Accounts opened, will be used. If No Frills Accounts are used to deliver government assistance, account holders would be more incentivised to use their accounts.

1 Banks can provide long term loans
Swati Raut  |  Added idea  "Banks can provide long term loans"  |  2 years ago

  A hallmark of corporate and/or brand partnership is that they advance both the mission of SICU and the business purpose of the company or brand. They are mutually beneficial relationships that involve the exchange of something of value from each participant to the other and involve clear responsibilities, shared contributions, and shared risk. There is no cookie-cutter approach to partnerships between companies and SICU as a Virtual Organization and Strategic Alliance. They can take a variety of forms and each evolves under different circumstances and with different goals. The following discusses some common kinds of collaborations between businesses and SICU. Please note that these descr...

Dear Ajay, You might be right but my intention is first of all to introduce different types of partnerships, though this one of the core areas SICU is specialized in.
Ajay Ziz  |  Commented  |  1 year ago
