Microcredit and Grameen Bank: A view from the grassroots

The growing attention has been given for rural development during past two decades in most of the developing countries over the world. This is because of majority peoples live in rural areas where problems of poverty, inequality, unemployment etc. are increasing rapidly. Like other developing countries, Government of Bangladesh has given priority to the development of rural peoples. Beside Government, non-governmental organizations are also playing an important role in rural developmental activities. However, Grameen bank, a leading microcredit organization, that provides micro loan to the poor women for self-employment, and the Nobel laureate Dr.Muhammod Yunus have become the subject to talk in home and abroad from last few years. This paper aims to figure out the microcredit and rural development issues through the opinion of rural people based on the Grameen bank and Dr. Muhammod Yunus dilemma.
