How can one explain the rise of MFIs, the growing PE investments in the sector and yet a near absence of social performance and outcome audit of MF sector. While SHGs Bank linkage programme kept them chained to still poorer level of subsistence, the MFI model led many ambitious ones (micro entrepreneurs) and other petty traders to perpetual debt trap by professed “credit deepening” exercise without gauging the genuity of demand or designing suitable loan products for the needy.
