The World Trade Centre Goa is set to hold its second Make in India programme on ‘Microfinance: A Game Changer for Financial Inclusion’ here on June 24.
The programme is promoted by M.V.I.R.D.C. in association with WTC Mumbai, Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency Limited (Mudra Bank), Reserve Bank of India and The International Centre of Goa.
Although there are around 69 MFIs registered as non-banking financial companies with Reserve Bank of India, the country still has 233 million people (more than 19 per cent of the population) who are unbanked or financially excluded, according to WTC Goa.
WTC Goa hopes to address this issue through the programme in which experts will share their insights on microfinance and policy initiatives.
Jiji Mammen, CEO, MUDRA, Jaikish, General Manager & Officer-in-Charge, RBI - Goa Regional Office, Manguirish Pai Raiker, MSME Board Member & Advisor, WTC Goa, are among the expert speakers.
Interested participants can register at WTC Goa office (Ms Cheryl, on 0832 2431108/ 07 Email: wtc@wtcgoa.org ).
