Swarna Pragati

General

Swarna Pragati is India’s first affordable rural housing microfinance company and aspires to build a society where everyone has a house in which to live with dignity. The organization aims to be the preferred provider of innovative financial solutions for housing in India, particularly to low-income households and women in rural and semi-urban areas. Swarna Pragati understands that low-income households, particularly those in rural areas, seldom have clear legal land titles and may lack a traditional financial and credit history. Swarna Pragati makes financing more accessible to individuals in these areas by not requiring a title to guarantee a loan and by assessing the borrower’s creditworthiness using a unique, non-traditional methodology.
