In these 6 factors, some other factors were also added such as age, income, education, landholding, the regularity of income, earning members count, gender, caste, location, religion, etc. Fitting ordinal logistic regression model, it was found that, the important factors that have an impact on financial inclusion on the members of the SHGs are financial awareness, ease of banking and economic status of the members, the relevance of financial products, physical infrastructure, monthly income, landholding, education, age and their status with respect to the BPL category. The decision-makers in power should collaborate with financial institutions should consider and apply this finding during the disbursement of loans.
