Poverty is a major socio-economic problem in all developing countries. No country can grow without giving due attention to the growing menace of poverty. In1991-92 the Indian Government understood the role and importance of financial inclusion. With the advent of liberalization, the economy started picking up higher growth rate, but at the same time it witnessed uneven benefits and fruits of wealth. A few selected section of the society were becoming wealthier and a large section was neglected. In order to mitigate this gap, definite and effective policies need to be implemented. Hence the title of the study is, ‘The role of financial inclusiveness in eradicating poverty.’ It is assumed that financial inclusiveness policies are one of the best instruments in eradicating poverty. Financial Inclusiveness policies can help to overcome the problem of poverty in India.
