Abstract
Poverty is a curse which deprives an individual to earn his bread with honor in the society. That is the reason why countries and
societies which are pretentious by poverty are more prone to terrorism and crime. India is a developing country amalgamised
with vivid societies and economic classes. In order to diminish the economic gap between rich and poor the government is
running many prestigious programs. One of them is providing financial assistance to the potential entrepreneur in the form of
micro financing. This paper ponders on the role of the same in reducing the financial disparity among the citizens of India. This
research inculcates statistical tools like factor analysis, KMO test, co-relation, regression and descriptive statics. The study
advocates that. Micro financing has helped in reducing the financial stress and establishing small entrepreneurs. The study can
help to increase the efficiency of microfinance providers as it analyses the constraints faced by them and proposes suggestions to
mitigate the situation. It also speaks of the socioeconomic status of the beneficiaries and what impact it has on the poverty
elevation, expansion of the business organisation and increased employability in the study area. The future scope of the research
has been spent out as well.
