This book explores the transformative role of financial inclusion in eradicating poverty, ensuring food security, advancing gender equality, and fostering decent work and economic growth. Through rigorous analysis, it examines how savings, credit, insurance, and payment mechanisms shape livelihoods, strengthen households, and drive national economies. Drawing on comparative studies across Indian states, Asian economies, and countries spanning five continents, the book highlights both the shared promise and the striking disparities in financial access worldwide. It sheds light on regulatory frameworks, socio-economic conditions, and infrastructure that determine progress, while underscoring financial inclusion's central place in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Rich in evidence and insight, this volume is an indispensable resource for scholars, policymakers, and development practitioners alike. It demonstrates that inclusive finance is not merely an economic tool but a pathway toward dignity, equity, and a sustainable future for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shantanu Ghosh,Tarak Nath Sahu,Girijasankar Mallik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9819533848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789819533848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Shantanu Ghosh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48742986547455,"sku":"9789819533848","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/financial-inclusion-shantanu-ghosh-9789819533848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
