Micro Finance -answer to poverty alleviation

Micro finance is at center stage today in terms removing poverty. I was watching CNBC program on Mohd. Yunus, this year's Nobel peace prize winer. A great thinker. He said he is happy that at least they recognized that there is a strong link between poverty and peace.

CNBC also I think awarded Vikram Akula -SKS microfinance in the entrepreneur of the year start-up category.
