Celebrating 20 years of the
Sa-Dhan National Conference
on Inclusive Growth 2025

The 20th Annual National Conference on Inclusive Growth, a flagship event of Sa-Dhan, will be held on November 13-14, 2025, at Hotel The Ashok, New Delhi. This prestigious platform brings together key stakeholders to deliberate on and advance the agenda of financial inclusion.

The theme for this year’s conference is: “Building Resilient Microfinance: Promoting Inclusive and Responsible Finance.” In 2025, Sa-Dhan completes 10 years as a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) for Microfinance Institutions, recognized by the Reserve Bank of India. This milestone will be reflected in the conference’s focused sessions on the principles of self-regulation aimed at fostering a more sustainable and responsible microfinance lending environment in the country.

As in previous years, the conference will bring together a diverse array of policymakers, regulators, practitioners, academics, and sector experts to explore pressing and emerging issues in the microfinance sector. Key discussions will revolve around strengthening the sector’s contribution to government-led initiatives and enhancing financial resilience, particularly for underserved and vulnerable communities.

This year marks a significant milestone as Sa-Dhan celebrates 10 years as an SRO. The conference theme reflects on a decade of progress, while looking ahead to new opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation in the years to come.
