Rural Development

Microfinance institutions (MFI) across Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan have been pioneers of women empowerment especially in the remotest of areas where their outreach has escalated positive affirmative action for the rural communities. This research was an effort to gauge the levels of empowerment attained through MFIs through the parameters of social, political, and economic empowerment of women in a comparative analysis done in the above-mentioned nations. It is a qualitative research conducted through secondary data analysis of case studies and research papers and bank reports of the three countries.
