The study examines the relationship between inclusive finance and the demographic status of rural and tribal women in eight rural districts of Tamil Nadu. It highlights the challenges of financial exclusion caused by factors like lack of infrastructure and accessibility. Through a survey of 384 respondents, the study analyses demographic factors such as age, caste, income, education, marital status, occupation, and bank affiliation. The findings emphasize the need for tailored financial literacy programs and improved access to banking services to promote socio-economic empowerment among rural and tribal women, ensuring equitable financial inclusion across diverse groups.
