Abstract
Inclusion of each and every section of the society in the process of economic development and achieving growth with equity is the basic objective of inclusive growth. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by world leaders which includes a set of 17 SDGs also focuses on fighting inequality and injustice to promote inclusive growth. There is global consensus to the fact that growing disparities can only be curtailed through economic empowerment of the people at the bottom of the pyramid and this can only be achieved by providing affordable financial services to them. Financial inclusion has thus been recognized as an integral part of inclusive growth.
