Governance Now Financial Inclusion Casebook

Governance Now, India’s premier governance and public policy magazine from Sri Adhikari Brothers (SAB TV) group, is pleased to announce its second casebook- The Financial Inclusion Casebook. Last year, Governance Now launched the PSU IT Casebook for the digital transformation of PSUs, which was launched by the key ministers and secretaries at the centre and well received by the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. Details of the PSU IT casebook is available at http://event.governancenow.com/psu-it-casebook/

With cash still being the preferred mode of transaction for a large section of Indians, there is a greater need to popularise the cashless transaction model in a big way. Financial inclusion is providing access to a wide range of financial services, not just bank accounts, at a reasonable cost to unbanked and under-banked. Under PMJDY, accounts have been opened but what about access to insurance, credit and pension facilities and channelling of all government benefits directly into the beneficiaries' bank accounts? Post demonetization there are many cashless models that have come for the fast-tracking cashless transaction in the country. But which is the best model to adopt? How should the bank go for digital inclusion to financially excluded segments? What are the most effective ways in creating awareness and giving access to financial services to them?
