 Abstract

Financial inclusion, the accessibility and usage of financial services by individuals and businesses, is increasingly recognized as a crucial driver of economic growth and development. This paper explores the relationship between financial inclusion and economic growth, examining theoretical frameworks, empirical evidence, and policy implications. It highlights the positive impact of financial inclusion on entrepreneurship, job creation, poverty reduction, and income equality. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, socio-economic disparities, regulatory constraints, technological barriers, and cultural factors hinder efforts to expand financial access. Recommendations for advancing financial inclusion include prioritizing financial education, leveraging technology, fostering an enabling regulatory environment, and promoting collaboration among stakeholders. By implementing targeted strategies and interventions, policymakers and practitioners can work towards creating a more inclusive financial ecosystem that empowers individuals and promotes sustainable economic development.

Fingerprint authentication stands out as the most sophisticated among biometric techniques, having undergone extensive validation across diverse applications. Unlike features like a person's face or signature, which can change over time and may be subject to fabrication or imitation, a fingerprint uniquely belongs to an individual and remains constant throughout a lifetime. This paper delineates the diverse aspects and methods essential for the implementation of a fingerprint-based identification system.

 Abstract

Most individuals, especially those living in rural and interior parts of India, have been excluded from the benefits of formal banking system. Therefore, they never had access to insurance, credit, loans and other financial instruments to help them establish and grow their micro businesses. So, most individuals depend on local money lenders for credit. The loan comes at high interest and often with unbearable conditions, which make these poor unsuspecting people fall in a debt-trap for generations. So they were an urgent need for an institution which will overcome the problems of individuals staying in rural areas. It will make a lot of difference in the economy as according to NSSO Survey 2013, there are close to 5.77 crores small scale business units, mostly sole proprietorships, which undertake trading, manufacturing, retail and other small-scale activities. Government felt that introduction MUDRA will make the difference by promoting self employment and entrepreneurship.
