Literary Role of Rural Finance with Special Reference to Developing Nations

Abstract

A significant number of studies have been made on corporate finance and financial services with reference to developing as well as developed nations. However, there is a paucity of work pertaining to the rural finance. In this study, we review the research work already conducted to see perspective of rural finance. The author has reviewed papers that were published between 1970 and 2018, and further categorized them based on their publication year, countries, publishing source and focus area of the study. This paper underlines research gaps that may help researchers to find a future direction. This paper adds to the existing pool of literature by presenting the work in form of systematic literature review, which states that not much study has been conducted that thoroughly reviews and compiles research findings available in this field. So through this article, we have tried to fill this gap.
