Description
New Century Publications Financial Literacy and Inclusion in India by Abdul Azeez N P
Financial literacy involves proficiency in financial principles, financial planning, debt management, saving techniques and the time value of money. The concept of financial inclusion has a special significance in India because a large segment of the society has little access to financial services. Consequently, many of them have to depend either on their own or high-cost informal sources of finance. The essence of financial inclusion is to ensure that a range of appropriate financial services are available to all individuals to enable them to understand and access those services. The present volume contains 8 research papers that provide deep insights into the various aspects and problems associated with financial literacy and financial inclusion.
