TRAINING ON SHGs : Concept at Village Level@JEEVIKA Umarya


17 March 2013 Pali/Umariya (Madhya Pradesh): Self Help Groups are our primary unit of social mobilization at the grassroots. Over the long term, we expect these SHGs to provide an enabling and supportive environment in which women from marginalised communities are able to dream, plan and their situation. In our understanding,these long term gains are only possible when women meet regularly over the long term,and have some experience making small practicable improvement in their lives around the economic and social realm.

We therefore invest significant time and energy to develop robust, high performing groups. This process starts with joint development, acceptance and internalization of SHG rules and norms. An early focusis also on savings and credit, which is an everyday need for most poor families.

JEEVIKA team organised community meetings on today in JDSSS Jonal Office Kumardu village to interact with the 27 women’s of Kumardu and Malyaguda village and discuss the issues, their concern and the opportunities available so them. Mr. Umesh Soni from PRADAN, Mandla was the Resource Person of this Concept Seeding programme .The concept of SHG was shared with the community and finally they make SHG and Jeevika team is leading the roll of capacitating them.
