Abstract

The promotion of Self Help Groups (SHGs) by external intervention is of recent origin. There appears to be fairly good progress of developmental activities which have helped to attain bigger goals like empowerment of rural women. The progress of SHGs is limited in terms of spread. However they certainly seem to hold great promise in the rural credit delivery mechanism. Based on such an assessment, NABARD has an ambitious plan of expanding SHGs all over the country and promote them as instruments, which can supplement the institutional agencies in effectively reaching the rural poor. Since the SHGs play an important role and have great potential in accelerating the pace of rural development, it was considered worthwhile to analyse group development from close quarters to assess the constraints associated with SHGs
