It analyses the emergence of global concepts, models and formats of microfinance, its proximity to women and the methodology adopted through state intervention to economically strengthen this weaker section of the society. This paper argues that women have identified with microfinance delivery mechanism in developing economies like India and Bangladesh.

The paper therefore incorporates current literature on the issue to support the arguments.
