Kuldip Maity, MD & CEO, Village Financial Services (VFS) said, “Still there is a huge demand and supply gap in the credit flow in Bengal and eastern region. If we really want to reach the unbanked people, Banks need to extend their credit support to more MFIs and in larger volumes especially to those organisations, who are working in the rural and remote corner of the state as they are facing funding problem.
He also added, “Once MUDRA Bank starts working, there will be a good credit flow in this unbanked segment through MFIs.”
