Faster implementation of Financial Inclusion Programs is seen after 2010-11. Commercial banks opened new rural branches, increased coverage of villages, set up ATMs and digital kiosks, deployed BCs(Business Correspondents), opened no-frills accounts, and provided credit through Kisan Credit Cards (KCC), General Credit Cards (GCC), and other specific products designed to cater to the financially excluded segments. The introduction of core banking technology and proliferation of alternate delivery channels aided the process of inclusion on a larger scale. The statistics on key banking network give a sense of the pace of progress of banking outreach as part of Financial Inclusion.
