Crisil Foundation is currently working with the socially and economically underprivileged communities in some of the
most difficult geographies.
Mein Pragati, the flagship CSR programme, is currently being implemented in more than 5,200 villages of Assam and
Rajasthan. This programme is facilitated through a well-trained, all-women community cadre of sakhis. The cadre has
helped address the last-mile constraints in awareness and access to financial services and supported more than 3
million rural community members, by facilitating access to banking, and other financial, and social security schemes.
Crisil Foundation’s efforts through Mein Pragati have led to a larger partnership – the MoneyWise Centre for Financial
Literacy (CFL) project – which is being implemented in India with support from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), 11
public sector banks and the NABARD. This project scales-up Crisil Foundation’s financial awareness and inclusion
efforts through 675 CFL projects across 100,000+ villages in 14 states and four union territories. By building timely,
relevant and trusted centres of knowledge, such as the CFL, Crisil has taken a firm step towards enabling the last-
mile financial inclusion, critical to the country’s long-term development.
