Abstract

Kerala has a top position in the financial inclusion graph of India. It is due to various banking and welfare measures adopted by the Kerala government in the past few years. Among them FI@School programme and Kudumbashree is worth mentioning. Kerala is the state having the largest social security pensioners. Old age pension scheme, agricultural labourer pension scheme etc. of Kerala government is benefitting thousands of people. Through all these measures Kerala has attained a top position in the financial inclusion map of the country. But it is not 100% as claimed by the Kerala government.
