 Self Help Groups

Despite vast expansion of the formal credit system encompassing spheres of social and mass banking, the dependence of the rural poor on moneylenders still continues in many areas, especially for meeting their emergent needs. Under these circumstances, a non-formal agency for credit supply to the poor, in the form of Self Help Groups, emerged as a promising partner to the formal credit system. SHGs are a  part of micro credit.
 
  The objectives of Self Help Groups are to:

  • inculcate saving and banking habits among the poor;
  • secure them with financial, technical and moral strengths;
  • enable availing of loan for productive purposes and repaying the same over a period of time, and in the process gain economic prosperity;
 
SHG - Bank Linkage programme-emergence:

  • Experience of Bangladesh Grameena Bank paved way.
  • Rigidities of formal credit system and the plight of the poor necessitated to form into groups by adopting the concept "Self Help & Mutual Help".
  • NABARD has formulated pilot project for Linking SHGs with Banks in 1992.
