Institutional Response to the Problem of Access to Finance: Evidence from the Tribal Economy of Kerala

  • Kumar, Dr.B.Pradeep

Abstract

The global economy appears to have been driven by the more pronounced hand of what could be called ‘finance’ especially since the onset of neoliberal policies. The gradual makeover to the role of finance is perhaps understandable as we have been moving the ladder of exchange economy from that of a moneyless one to a highly monetized framework, as it happens elsewhere in the world.This paper ventures into analyzing the issues in access to finance and presents one filed study which throws light on the role that institutional interventions play in influencing the condition of access to finance among the tribal communities, one of the main outliers of development in Kerala
