1.1.1 INTERNSHIP INTRODUCTION
Finance is assumed to be one of the most important tools for the growth and poverty improvement in a country. Financial inclusion is a vision for every country to achieve so that it can provide quality services to its citizens. Govt. Has introduces many schemes to achieve the aim of Inclusive growth and abandoned access to Financial services. Many initiatives, schemes and reforms have been put into the place after independence. Many Cooperative Banks where introduced to supply credit for farming purpose and for this cooperative banks came into existence immediately after Independence and further it was followed by the nationalization of many banks and priority sector lending and subsequently.

Financial inclusion has been successful in other countries India is also trying this for all time to achieve this goal. Access to affordable financial services would lead to increasing economic actions and employment opportunities for rural households with a possible multiplier effect on the financial system. Financial inclusion could enable a higher disposable income in the hands of rural households leading to greater savings and a wider deposit base for banks and other financial institutions. So i thought it would be better to study financial inclusion (PRADHAN MANTRI JAN-DHAN YOJANA) how it would help the people and economy as a whole.
1.1.4 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To briefly study and examine financial poverty in India. To study and analyze recent standing of Financial Inclusion in the Jammu and Kashmir State. To assess latest scheme under financial inclusion ( Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana) To see how it is helpful for the society. To see how many accounts have been covered under pmjdy.
1.1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY To study and analyze financial inclusion practices which are carried by Jammu and Kashmir
This is necessary as the vast majority of individuals migrating from rural to urban centers has been steadily increasing with the level of economic growth seen within the past twenty years as mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, this situation has further shown the structural issues and inequalities of cities, as most migrants end up having a poor quality of life living in informal settlements as highlight substantially by Boo. As a means of tackling this, however, the Indian government has turned its focus on investing rural regions, developing the agricultural sector. Specifically, Boo mentions that “the prime minister, Manmohan Singh, had come down from Delhi to express his concern for the farmers’ hardships, and the central government’s determination to relieve it” (p. 138). While this is definitely important funds are not being divided justly. For starters, between rural and urban areas almost all investments are being targeting towards rural regions, which is only addressing issues of inequality in one section of the country. Furthermore, across rural areas inequalities of investment are quite often overlooked. Although, “one of the governments hopes was to stop villagers from abandoning their farms and further inundating cities like Mumbai, but Asha’s relatives knew nothing of these celebrated relief programs” (p. 138). Therefore, even though
Wealth is the many fortunes that billions of people have never gotten a glimpse of. In contrast, poverty has drenched the lives of over three billion people; 270 million of these people are Indigenous. The 15 percent of the world’s indigenous poverty resides in Canada. Issues such as land usage, lack of employment, internal conflicts, poor education, and racism are well known factors of poverty. The Indigenous peoples of Canada are predominantly controlled by the issues derived from poverty.
This topic about helping poor people get out of poverty is a critical issue. Almost 800 million people across the globe, most of them children, live with hunger or malnutrition as a regular fact of life. They live in desperate poverty, which means they die younger than they should, struggle with hunger and disease, and live with little hope and less opportunity for a life of dignity (USCCB). Poverty poses a dramatic problem of justice; in its various forms and with its various effects, it is characterized by an unequal growth that does not recognize the "equal right of all people to take their seat ‘at the table of the common banquet' (Social Doctrine of the Church) ."
Financial Aid was created to increase enrollment rates for higher education. It is expected of young adults to further their education to get a good job, even if they do not have the money to do so. Because of these expectations, the price of college tuition has increased dramatically. Due to the increase in tuition, middle class families can no longer afford to pay for their child’s education, causing students to have to work to pay for college because they do not qualify for financial aid. With the criteria set for Financial Aid, it is becoming more difficult for middle-class students to afford college. College students who work to support themselves and their families should be granted much more financial aid than they currently receive.
Today’s college students are bombarded with ads, commercials and mailings telling us that we need to spend money to be happy. At the same time, many of us come to college very ill-equipped to handle our finances. Financial literacy, defined as "the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage one's financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security," is important in our money matters as well as academic performance. Based on your understanding of financial literacy and experience (or lack thereof) of personal finance, 1) pick two personal finance topics (including but not limited to: credit cards, student loans, budgeting, saving, banking, and investment, etc.)
Even though poverty is a huge issue in America, there is hope for the impoverished. If the government stresses the seriousness of poverty and teaches people how to save money, poverty will decrease. Living in Poverty is our own fault. “It is based on bad choices, not a bad economy. The poor are getting poorer because of the lack of education, and knowledge of their futures; which is the second demographic characteristic of poverty. The ranks of the impoverished overflow with high school dropouts who are at a great disadvantage in today’s increasingly knowledgable economy’’ (Malanga 1).
Since the word “literacy” is usually used to describe the measure of one’s ability to read, write, and speak a specific language, financial literacy can, thus, refer to:
The government of India has suggested an approach called the MGNREGA for poverty reduction. This program was launched in September 2005 by the central government of India. The major focus of the scheme is that it provides 100 days of paid employment to every household from rural areas. The goal of the act is to increase earnings of the villagers. Adult members of households do a wide range of laborious work which does not require any specific skills. What is more, the program has covered sufficient amounts of slow-developing rural areas of India: 200 – in the first st...
Numerous amounts of people have financial problems when they get out of high school, so what should the school board do? In 2007, thirty-four out of fifty states have personal finance courses in their curriculum (Bernard 4). A financial literacy course seems to be what a majority of states are doing. Financial literacy courses have their pros and their cons just like everything else. Financial literacy courses bring up some very important questions.
High school seniors takes deep breaths and parade onto the stage. The beginning of a new chapter awaits as they make the journey from one point of the stage to the end. They reflect on what they have been taught in those many years of high school. The most terrifying fact while graduating high school is the next step: making it on their own. Because they have taken part in the appropriate classes, the students are certain that they have gained the correct knowledge to begin making their mark on the world. In high school, it is crucial to achieve the appropriate classes in order to feel ready to take on the world ahead as an adult. However, many students lack proper education. One key example is financial literacy. Financial literacy is the
In the United States, there are less low-income students admitted into universities and colleges than high-income students. Especially in the case of top-tier universities, students from well off families are better represented. This underrepresentation is largely due to the fact that poor and minority high schools tend to not prepare students for the admission process. One of the many implications is racial because of the correlation between certain races and income in America. Even if students with low-income backgrounds make it into a university, they are much more likely to dropout than students with high-income backgrounds.
In the past decade, many college students have fallen into poverty. There’s a lot of issues that go beyond this topic, many people wouldn’t think College students could end up in poverty. Because, either those college students get scholarships or financial aid but, none of those could support a college student. I believe that there could be a more possible way for a college student to survive the college life and earn the degree they desire.
Microfinance has been a powerful and effective tool in the reduction of poverty by bringing the poor into the income stream. This is because it creates an opportunity for the poor to be able to indulge in self-employment rather than waiting for employment opportunities to be created. The invention of Grameen Bank and other programs has led to the spread of more and more micro-credit and microfinance services to the poor in the society. (Mason and Yamaguchi)
An important term that is cropping up everywhere nowadays is “Microfinance”. It is important for every person interested in the field of finance to be aware of this term, as in the coming days Microfinance is expected to be one of the brightest and the most appealing sector of the Indian Economy.
The first and arguably most common effect of poverty on society is its financial impact (Veritta, 2008). In many of the societies that experienced significantly high levels of poverty, debt was increasingly common, and especially debt accrued from moneylenders (Hatcher, 2016). For many individuals living in poverty, access to financial services such as banking is often stifled and rudimentary, making it difficult for such individuals to access self-improvement loans at standard and fair rates (Yoshikawa, Aber, & Beardslee, 2012). For these individuals, moneylenders are the best option available, which results in them paying exorbitant interest rates. The interconnection between poverty and finance, however, is cyclic in nature. The lack of finances or access to financial services causes poverty, which in turn causes an isolation of individuals from finances and financial services (Hickey & du Toit, 2013). This makes poverty a fairly complex problem to
