Microfinance Association of Uttar Pradesh (UPMA) The concept of Microfinance in India was introduced in the late 1980s. It has evolved by drawing upon the existing institutional architecture of social and cooperative Banking as also on newer model and approaches. The main objective of UPMA is to maintain co-ordination, among Govt; RBI and the industry players, besides working as a bridge between them. Though there are already two such bodies working in this field at the national level. However the concept of State association is completely different from national organizations. The care is taken that there is no conflict of interest among National level bodies and State level Associations. The object of state level Association is to function as umbrella, towards safeguarding the interest of the MFIs besides, cautioning them against any unforeseen disaster at the State level. National level organizations have policy intervention goals at National level.
