This platform is playing an important role in coordinating actions of NGOs, donors, financial institutions and government ministries in promoting microfinance and also providing entrepreneurial and financial literacy training. In brief, the expos make financial inclusion a reality by taking the services to the underserved communities.
Official launch Ladies and Gentlemen in concluding, let me thank the Life Insurance Corporation of India and the Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme for their valuable contributions and for partnering with the Reserve Bank in co-sponsoring our microfinance awards. The Awards presentation will be held in conjunction with the Microfinance Pacific Week later in October this year at the Sheraton Resort.
