In India many microfinance institutions (MFIs) have come into being, doing and expanding their business as per their social mission yet some have drifted. Therefore, it was envisaged to conduct a study to assess functioning of MFIs and investigating how they are promoting two bottom lines. The paper aims at analysing demographic profile, study socio-economic profile, and analyse the loan utilisation pattern and impact of microfinance on income levels of self-help groups (SHGs) members in the study area.
