Abstract

Background: Haryana, an Indian state, depends heavily on the financial industry to sustain its economic development. Achieving inclusion in financial services is still difficult, given different obstacles, including the digital gap, financial literacy, and gender inequalities. Objective: This study seeks to investigate the dynamics of inclusive financial sector development in Haryana, therefore pointing up important issues and viewpoints influencing its terrain. The aim is to grasp the interaction of socioeconomic elements affecting financial inclusiveness, market mechanisms, and regulatory systems. Methodology: Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the study examines data gathered from many stakeholders, including financial institutions, legislators, and recipients. The study aims to separate the several interactions influencing financial inclusiveness in Haryana. Findings: Although Haryana has made great progress in improving access to financial services, the results show that full financial inclusiveness is hampered by ongoing issues such as the digital divide, financial literacy, and gender inequalities even in this state. The SEM study emphasizes the important role that creative financial solutions, focused regulatory changes, and stakeholder involvement in removing these obstacles play. Conclusion: This study provides useful information for legislators and financial institutions as well as helps to theoretically clarify the concept of financial inclusion. It emphasizes the need for a coordinated approach to handling the several issues of financial inclusion, therefore opening the path for sustainable economic development in Haryana.
