Which of the following has been recently emerged to fill the gap in the formal credit system?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3: Self help groups
Recently, Self-Help Groups (henceforth SHGs) have emerged to fill the gap in the formal credit system because the formal credit delivery mechanism has not only proven inadequate but has also not been fully integrated into the overall rural social and community development. Since some kind of collateral is required, vast proportion of poor rural households were automatically out of the credit network.
