Prioritizing National Interest

During the 19th National Conference, Sa-Dhan will also focus on critical national priorities, including microinsurance, micro-pensions, integrated health, water and sanitation, clean energy and climate change, affordable housing, support for the truly marginalized, microenterprises, digitization, and the broader microfinance sector. The discussions will examine how financial inclusion can significantly contribute to poverty alleviation and universal access to financial services.

A highlight of the conference will be the unveiling of The Bharat Microfinance Report, a comprehensive statistical analysis of the sector. This report is anticipated to provide crucial insights and data, guiding future initiatives and strategies within the microfinance landscape.
