Abstract

The advocates of rural credit argue that access to finance can substantially help in the reduction of poverty and

 

promoting gender empowerment. Access to credit may contribute a long-lasting increase in income by means of

 

a rise in investments that can generate income and diversify source of income. It can also contribute in

 

empowering women in the decision making process of economic nature, family planning, marriage,

 

participation in social and political activities. Many studies go not in favor of this type of argument. Present

 

study shows that rural credits programme do not have any significant impact on gender dimensions. In some

 

case, the status of beneficiaries group has deteriorated against control group. Actually, the programme is not

 

wrong in itself but the implementation process of the programme has much type of weaken.
