This study examines the impact of microfinance lending by assessing the livelihood status of borrowers in the preand post-credit scenarios, based on a field work conducted in Kottayam district, Kerala. While doing so, this study also ascertained the perception of borrowers about managerial and training requirements. The results revealed a significant difference in all the three parameters in the post-credit period, namely, physical, financial and employment generation aspects. While credit disbursement was rated as efficient, there was no mid- term corrections and training. Also, there was no separate mechanism for identifying options for better return on investments and identifying bottlenecks in production system. The additional training for human resources development was felt by nearly all respondents. This study emphasises that the microfinance programme has to evolve separate training modules for its participants to make the interventions more successful.Keywords
