Empowerment of Women has become a buzz term globally as it has got a potential significance universally. The World Bank (WB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) are constantly supporting the women empowerment programmes to achieve global socio-economic growth and sustainability. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) working papers revealed that empowerment of women can be achieved through financial awareness and financial education. Likewise, the Government of India and Reserve Bank of India forcefully implemented varied policies and programmes in order to enhance women empowerment both economically and socially. However, this research study attempts to provide a clear insight on achieving women empowerment through inclusive financing in rural India. The research work is empirical in nature, in which the primary data is collected through structured questionnaire by using judgment sampling covering respondents from rural Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu state in India.
