The content of this book is designed to provide students, researchers, banking professionals, and policymakers with a comprehensive understanding of rural credit institutions, financial inclusion programs, and government initiatives that support rural entrepreneurs. Special emphasis has been placed on practical insights, case studies, and real-world applications to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and field-level execution. I believe that entrepreneurship can unleash the creative potential of rural youth and women, creating sustainable income opportunities and reducing socio-economic disparities. Rural banking, as the backbone of this transformation.
