Main Objectives and Functions

Members of the group meet regularly and contribute small amounts of money to a common savings fund. - Providing Loans:
From the accumulated funds, interest-free or low-interest loans are provided to needy members so that they can meet their personal needs or start small income-generating activities. - Economic Empowerment:
These groups help women achieve financial independence and enable them to stand on their own feet. - Social Development:
Through participation in SHGs, women’s social status improves, and they become more active in community affairs and local governance (like Gram Sabha meetings). - Financial Independence:
