SHGs-Self-help groups act as an organisation comprising rural poor who pool their resources and savings together. It is from this pool that loans are given to members at very nominal rates of interest. If the SHG is able to save something out of these interests, then it becomes eligible for bank loans. It is with this bank loan that self-employment is created for the members of the group and their families, thereby increasing their standard of living. SHGs are working in rural India and have greatly helped in taking out poor farmers from debt-traps and helping them lead a life of dignity.
