rural finance

Rural finance involves providing financial services—such as loans, savings accounts, insurance, and credit—specifically tailored to people and businesses in countryside areas. Since rural regions often have limited banking infrastructure and higher risks, specialized financial systems help farmers, small entrepreneurs, and communities access capital needed for farming, growth, and development. This support boosts agricultural productivity, creates jobs, and improves overall living conditions in rural areas, helping to bridge the gap between urban and rural economic opportunities.
