  1. Rural Finance and Micro Finance R.Bhaskaran

  2. The Issue • Majority of India is financially excluded. • Cooperative banking which is also in the rural finance domain is not growing at all • Rural Financing has two possible growth paths • Microfinance • Business Correspondent model of commercial banks – eventually this will be a mini bank ( my vision!) Commercial banks current exposure is not very high. • There is an urgency to make this happen. • There is greater possibility now as unlike the past ICT is an enabler of the speeding up process • Inclusive growth is a commitment. This is not possible unless the sector is ready with people to deliver.

  3. The Task • Making available in the rural areas and among urban poor facilities for • Savings • Credit • Insurance • Social Security • Remittance facilities • Counseling • Who are involved • MFIs ,Banks, NBFCs, Governments, NGOs, IT companies • Entrepreneurial skills with the proponents also play an important role

  4. The Skill sets • Finance • People skill or facilitation skills • Knowledge of rural economics • Job routines – this will be imparted by the employers • IT application handling • Branch management

  5. HR requirements • Like any other business the requirements will range from front line staff to top management • The sector will grow very fast in the next few years. Very impressive growth in the recent years • Since the facilitation tasks cannot be performed by IT or computer Human skills will be equally important • The sector will need IT ( application) savvy youngsters • If not this year in future will face attrition issues

  6. Profile • Willing to travel • Willing to use IT • Flexi timings • Good soft skills- empathy with the target audience • Language skills

  7. What is different • This is not an exclusive selling job. It entails a large amount of facilitation skills. • The sector has good training system towards the same • Most jobs will be field jobs – not desk oriented: not 10 to 5 • Employers will have different expectations

  8. IIBF’s education Journey • We impart skill based courses • Focus is on education. Self paced distance education- supported by latest courseware and virtual class rooms • Make candidates job ready • Professionalize the employee • Cover banking, NBFC, Collection agents, Home Loan advising, Commodity derivatives, Financial Advising & • Micro Finance Professionals (89/101) • Employees of Business Correspondents ( training cum certification being launched shortly)

  9. Why take up such courses? • Makes the candidate job ready • Sector’s training cost can come down • College and University education is too general and at times too vast for specific jobs and sectors. Such diplomas become a value add qualification
