Abstract

Financial Literacy is recognized as the primary policy initiative towards all-inclusive growth. It amalgamates knowledge, behavior, and attitude towards financial inclusion, financial resilience, and financial well-being. This study's primary focus is on examining the impact of financial literacy on the bank linkage programme amongst self-help groups. Using primary data from 967 Self Help Group-Bank Linkage Programme (SBLP) members, this study assesses financial literacy and uses Artificial Neural Network analysis to create a workable model that illustrates how SBLP may empower financial literacy. The SBLP is the biggest microfinance initiative in the world. It has been effectively directing small savings and bank loans for low-income households, intending to foster community advancement for financial resilience—a crucial component in times of economic and financial volatility.These results highlight the critical need to increase SHGs' financial literacy to maximize the effectiveness of the Bank Linkage Programme.
