abstract: 'The traditional Indian society functioned mainly on the basis of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
self-help and mutual aid. However, in recent years, they have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
emerging as a major strategy for the promotion of informal credit to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poor. Self-help groups are expected to make a significant contribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to poverty alleviation and empower the members in economic, social and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
political spheres. These programmes are also expected to become
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasingly self-reliant and independent of donor funds. In rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
India; there is substantial degree of feminization of poverty on account
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of an increase in the net population growth rate among the landless
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
agricultural labour households (including SC/ST and other backward
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
classes women), low level of human skills, lack of availability of wage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment opportunities and inadequacy of institutional support to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
create wage as well as self employment opportunities. This list includes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic factors responsible for feminization of poverty which are much
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stronger in operation and which function along with socio-cultural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers and discrimination against women in economic participation. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
objectives of the self-help groups are to promote strong and independent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women groups who exert control over their own development and that of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the community. The women would be equipped with managerial and technical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills through enhanced participation in economic activities. In this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
context, it is desirable to generate information and analyse to what
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
extent these micro finance programmes have been able to reduce poverty
|
|
|

|
and vulnerability by; increasing capital/asset formation at the

the capacity of individuals and households to manage risk, increasing
