Calcutta, Oct. 16: Global micro-financiers Unitus and ACCION International have formed an alliance for India to reach out to 15 million households here within the next 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“While almost 10 per cent of the world population are benefited by micro-finance, it reaches only 1-2 per cent population in India. So, it is our endeavour to accelerate its growth in the country in association with local partners,” said Geoff Davis, president and chief executive officer, Unitus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
