&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Taking
a serious note on the suicides due to the purported harassment or 
embarrassment caused by the collection agents of Micro Finance 
Institutions (MFIs), Minister for Rural Development, IKP, Pensions, 
NREGP and Self-Help Groups, Vatti Vasanth Kumar stated that the 
government was contemplating making an Act to streamline the operations 
of MFIs in AP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Talking to media 
persons in the New Delhi, the minister said that the government would 
frame rules and regulations to streamline operations of MFIs, as reports
of a large number of women and rural folks committing suicides were on 
the rise. These people were resorting to taking the extreme step, unable
to pay their loans because of the exorbitant interest rates being 
charged by the firms, according to the reports.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Vasanth Kumar said the government would soon make an ordinance to the existing Act after discussing the matter with officials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The minister said the
government has no power to reduce interest rates being charged by MFIs.
He said only the Reserve Bank of India can take a decision on cutting 
the interest rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Vasanth Kumar directed the police to book criminal cases against firms which resort to violent methods to recover their loans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, Panchayati
Raj Minister Botsa Satyanarayana directed the officials to initiate 
stringent action against those MFIs which resort to violence in 
collecting their loans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He told media persons
in Vizianagaram that the government has directed the police to register
cases against agents of finance firms who harass members.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If the police does 
not initiate action on the complaints, the government would take 
disciplinary action against police officials, Satyanarayana warned.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He said the government was drafting rules and regulations to regulate the operations of MFIs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Botsa said the 
government would also conduct a study on the reasons behind members of 
Self Help Groups approaching MFIs. The study would reveal whether the 
financial assistance sanctioned for them was not reaching properly.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Taking a note of the 
suicides, Director General of Police K Aravinda Rao in Vijayawada stated
if the police receive any complaints, they would act seriously against 
such institutions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Taking
a serious note on the suicides due to the purported harassment or 
embarrassment caused by the collection agents of Micro Finance 
Institutions (MFIs), Minister for Rural Development, IKP, Pensions, 
NREGP and Self-Help Groups, Vatti Vasanth Kumar stated that the 
government was contemplating making an Act to streamline the operations 
of MFIs in AP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Talking to media 
persons in the New Delhi, the minister said that the government would 
frame rules and regulations to streamline operations of MFIs, as reports
of a large number of women and rural folks committing suicides were on 
the rise. These people were resorting to taking the extreme step, unable
to pay their loans because of the exorbitant interest rates being 
charged by the firms, according to the reports.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Vasanth Kumar said the government would soon make an ordinance to the existing Act after discussing the matter with officials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The minister said the
government has no power to reduce interest rates being charged by MFIs.
He said only the Reserve Bank of India can take a decision on cutting 
the interest rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Vasanth Kumar directed the police to book criminal cases against firms which resort to violent methods to recover their loans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, Panchayati
Raj Minister Botsa Satyanarayana directed the officials to initiate 
stringent action against those MFIs which resort to violence in 
collecting their loans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He told media persons
in Vizianagaram that the government has directed the police to register
cases against agents of finance firms who harass members.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If the police does 
not initiate action on the complaints, the government would take 
disciplinary action against police officials, Satyanarayana warned.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He said the government was drafting rules and regulations to regulate the operations of MFIs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Botsa said the 
government would also conduct a study on the reasons behind members of 
Self Help Groups approaching MFIs. The study would reveal whether the 
financial assistance sanctioned for them was not reaching properly.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Taking a note of the 
suicides, Director General of Police K Aravinda Rao in Vijayawada stated
if the police receive any complaints, they would act seriously against

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Taking
a serious note on the suicides due to the purported harassment or 
embarrassment caused by the collection agents of Micro Finance 
Institutions (MFIs), Minister for Rural Development, IKP, Pensions, 
NREGP and Self-Help Groups, Vatti Vasanth Kumar stated that the 
government was contemplating making an Act to streamline the operations 
of MFIs in AP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Talking to media 
persons in the New Delhi, the minister said that the government would 
frame rules and regulations to streamline operations of MFIs, as reports
of a large number of women and rural folks committing suicides were on 
the rise. These people were resorting to taking the extreme step, unable
to pay their loans because of the exorbitant interest rates being 
charged by the firms, according to the reports.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Vasanth Kumar said the government would soon make an ordinance to the existing Act after discussing the matter with officials.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The minister said the
government has no power to reduce interest rates being charged by MFIs.
He said only the Reserve Bank of India can take a decision on cutting 
the interest rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Vasanth Kumar directed the police to book criminal cases against firms which resort to violent methods to recover their loans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, Panchayati
Raj Minister Botsa Satyanarayana directed the officials to initiate 
stringent action against those MFIs which resort to violence in 
collecting their loans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He told media persons
in Vizianagaram that the government has directed the police to register
cases against agents of finance firms who harass members.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If the police does

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Botsa said the 
government would also conduct a study on the reasons behind members of 
Self Help Groups approaching MFIs. The study would reveal whether the 
financial assistance sanctioned for them was not reaching properly.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Raj Minister Botsa Satyanarayana directed the officials to initiate 
stringent action against those MFIs which resort to violence in

cases against agents of finance firms who harass members.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
