This new work focuses on the Self-Help Group (SHG) model, an under-studied aspect of microfinance practice, and looks at both rural communicates and urban slums. Ramchandani presents recent empirical work from India including first-hand field-level case studies, where microfinance plays a key development role in reducing poverty, addressing women's empowerment, and fostering rural economic growth.0 aPrint version record 0aInternational economic relations. 0aMicrofinancezIndia. 7aBusiness & EconomicsxInternationalxEconomics.2bisacsh 7aFinance.2bicssc  z978178714426240uhttps://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/doi/10.1108/9781787144255
