BBC hasn't showed real picture of Micro Credit Program, it is just an alternative case.
A media like BBC should be more
responsible to publish such alternative news (
Poor-selling-organs-to-pay-debt-BBC ) of a development project or
program like Micro Finance which has given address of capital to the poor,
ultra-poor and landless. BBC has given a negative case study from the
unsuccessful members who are less than 10%, but 90% beneficiaries doing very
well. We can see it clearly that maximum poor people have some capital now, but
go back twenty years ago, we have seen reverse picture that poor & landless
had to depend on physical labor totally, they had no way at all to manage some
money to think anything alternative. But it has been changed all, just make
plan, you need not think about money to start any project, you can easily get
the loan of Micro Finance. Some members take loan without any plan or to repay
other loan and some members can't be succeed at their project, so they fall in
problem to pay installment. It is true that there is cruelty with this program,
but it usually happens for some rubbish management. I have worked in Micro
Finance Program for seven years form bottom to top level and no MFP
organization supports such kind of cruelty to do with members, but some stupid
management does such behave to get some advantage from program showing
excellent performance. At this report BBC has shown the higher interest rate of
this program, but they should also analyze the administration and operating
cost of this program. Only a single banker can easily handle over hundred
millions BDT loan outstanding in banking sector, but a branch of Micro Finance
with seven staffs can handle ten millions BDT outstanding on average. Now think
about the difference of cost between Banking and Micro Credit sector. NGOs are
taking interest maximum 30% but it effects on the particular member highest
15%, and it is easy to repay small installments for such a man who depends on
daily income, if you say them, return the money at a time after a fixed period,
most of them will be failed to repay the loan. Otherwise this program is
creating thousands job opportunities directly and indirectly. I think BBC
should published this report highlighting positive side of this program suggesting
to avoid cruelty so that a negative impact couldn’t be fall on such a great
development program which has changed the luck of thousands poor and landless.
I would like to ask to them who are appreciated with this reporter, “Do you
have anything alternative of Micro Finance Program to give financial support
poor and landless for their project without any mortgage?”
Micro Finance Program (MFP) is the secret of the success of the economics of Bangladesh!
Micro Finance = Micro Savings + Micro Credit. Micro Finance is only program which can give opportunity to get some capital to a new entrepreneur, especially to the poor and ultra poor. Micro Finance is mother of Finance. It is a proven program to reduce poverty for social development. At this program people makes savings giving very small amounts weekly/monthly and here a member can take loan in a very easy terms & conditions. In this program loan can be returned weekly/half monthly/monthly/quarterly installments which depends on the project for which the member takes the loan. Bangladesh is the model of Micro Finance Program, and it is the secret of the amazing success of the economics of Bangladesh. But it hasn't be highlighted here. There is political violence here, it is very corrupted country, yet it is developing very fast, what does it have? Garments? Foreign Remittance? Many countries have those things much better than us, but our country doing very well than them, because we have something very special and that is Micro Finance Program. It is the key of this success. Only this program can reduce very fast hungry & poverty of the world if we use it properly.
