Dear Sir/Madam,
Indian Youth Centres Trust, a
Charitable Trust set up on 10 August 1961 with the active support of Pt
Jawaharlal Nehru, established Vishwa Yuvak Kendra (VYK) to orient the youth to
the developmental process and enable them to participate in the process of
nation building. VYK organizes workshops, seminars and training programmes
for the youth workers of grass-root level NGOs on different developmental
issues.
Microfinance sector has grown rapidly
over the past few decades. With financial inclusion emerging as a major policy
objective in the country, microfinance has occupied centre stage as a promising
conduit for extending financial services to unbanked sections of population.
Although the microfinance sector is having a healthy growth rate, there have
been a number of concerns related to the sector, like grey areas in regulation,
transparent pricing, low financial literacy etc. In addition to these concerns,
there are a few emerging concerns like cluster formation, insufficient funds,
multiple lending and over-indebtedness which are arising because of the
increasing competition among the MFIs.
Microfinance is not just about giving
micro credit to the poor – rather it is an economic development tool whose
objective is to assist the poor to work their way out of poverty. It covers a
wide range of services like credit, savings, insurance, remittance and
also non-financial services like training, counseling etc. To create
awareness and to build an insight among the people, Vishwa Yuvak Kendra is
organizing a three-day Training Programme on Microfinance from 23
-25 July, 2013.
The following
topics will be covered during the programme:
Ø Economics of poverty, basics of Microfinance, its opportunities and
growth.
Ø SHG concept, formation of successful SHG and development of Micro
entrepreneur from successful SHG.
Ø Analysis of Microfinance needs for various stake holders.
