Measuring Women’s Self-Help Group Performance in India
Published By: Tata Cornell Institute | Published Date: May , 2017Women’s SHGs increasingly facilitate the
decentralized delivery of agriculture and nutrition
interventions around the world. Since their origins
in the microfinance revolution of the 1980s, SHGs
in India have brought rural women together and
provided them with access to formal banking,
income-generating opportunities, training, and
exposure to public welfare schemes. Given their
unique status as savings and credit organizations
with considerable autonomy in scope and
functioning, these groups build social capital and
empowerment that can be leveraged to attain developmental goals and delivery of basic service
amenities.
