HOW CAN WE SAVE INDIA’S MFI INDUSTRY?

Allowing multiple channels to work and compete with each other is the best solution to the MFI problem.

Both the Centre and the state also need to look for a political solution to the Andhra impasse before it’s too late. Half of India’s population still does not have access to banking services.
