Microfinance is an attempt to improve access to small deposits and small loans for poor households neglected by banks. Microfinance offers the finance discipline a possible avenue to make a significant difference in the lives of millions of poor people. In the context of Orissa, despite its abundant natural and skilled human resources, has been the poorest state in the country with as much as 78% of the population living below the poverty line in the most backward KBK region of the state. An attempt has been made to focus on the role played by the microfinance in mitigating the problems encountered by the distress poor migrants of Bolangir and Kalahandi districts of Orissa through the formation of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), on the basis of both primary and secondary sources of data. The study concludes that Microfinance through SHGs is a viable alternative in involving the community in tackling a crisis originating due to failure of crops or natural calamity.

By and large, rain-fed agriculture has been practiced in India, which has contributed significantly to food production. But because of uncertain monsoon and constraints of water for irrigation from both public and private sectors, a high percentage of agricultural population is steeped in poverty in the rain-fed regions. In this context, watershed development becomes an important strategy to initiate plantations of permanent nature.
With the help of both primary and secondary sources of data, this paper attempts to examine the impact of microfinance funded watershed development project, on improving the socio-economic conditions of rural poor.

By providing small loans and other financial services to poor people, microfinance has generated considerable enthusiasm and demonstrated that how it is still possible to deliver financial services to unbanked low income households. Since microfinance targets low income groups, it ensures financial inclusion and protects their financial wealth and other resources in necessary circumstances. This paper discusses how technological advancement in the area of finance can be appropriately used in accelerating the pace of financial inclusion in India.Keywords
