      abstract = {Microfinance, risk taking behavior and rural livelihood  are the three dominating issues in the rural financial  landscape. Inadequate access to financial services is  considered to be one of the main reasons behind inadequate  economic opportunity and poverty in rural India.  Microfinance has played a significant role in shaping the  rural financial scenario. There is a need for micro-finance  institutions to focus on a heterogeneous demand structure  for the financial services provided to the rural poor. This  book aims to provide an up-to-date and in-depth analysis of  borrowing and risk taking behavior of rural people, which  might help to design financial products and delivery of  services in the rural market. It attempts to highlight and  review the actual meaning, functions and challenges of  microfinance through SHGs in the rapidly changing rural  scenario and livelihood aspects of the group members. In  addition, the present volume also investigates the  effectiveness of government schemes to promote rural  development. It is intended for those who are interested in  understanding the grassroots reality of the Indian rural  financial sector.},
