More than 60 million women are being served by microfinance in India, and the sheer scale and magnitude of microfinance necessitate evaluation on whether it does make an impact on the level of poverty of these people."Alexandra Kobishyn, Head, Knowledge Management Unit, Centre for Micro Finance, IFMR (http://ifmr.ac.in/cmf)
