Financial inclusion will act as a source of empowerment and allow people to participate more effectively in the economic and social process. Banking on the poor could turn out to be a rich banking proposition. Financial inclusion is a win-win opportunity for the poor, for the banks and for the nation.
Urban Co-operative Banks have a duty to rise up to meet these aspirations, convert the perceived weakness into exciting opportunities and facilitate inclusive growth. I wish the Cosmos Bank the very best in their Financial Inclusion initiatives. Thank you. References: 1. Chakrabarty, K.C.
