The main design principle behind self
help groups (SHGs) organizations of rural poor women at the
village level was to empower women by mobilizing them into
small groups, facilitating interactions and financial
literacy, and federating them into higher-order organization
to unleash the potential of self help. The movement was
initiated in the late 1980s by the Mysore resettlement and
development agency (MYRADA) in Karnataka and by professional
assistance for development action (PRADAN) in Tamil Nadu and
Rajasthan. In 2000, the World Bank supported the Andhra
Pradesh district poverty initiative project (APDPIP or
VELEGU) project, which leveraged their existing work on
SHGs, integrated new lessons and scaled-up the SHG program
across the state. In order to leverage the World Bank
experience of supporting livelihoods projects in states like
AP, Bihar, Odisha and Tamil Nadu, the government of India
(GoI) approved a World Bank supported National Rural
Livelihoods Project (NRLP) to be implemented in thirteen
major States in the country and aimed at creating proof. The
World Bank designed the NRLP in the year 2011 with a vision
to mainstream SHGs as the primary intervention strategy for
rural development. The major pillars for SHG functions were
defined as institution building, financial inclusion,
livelihood strengthening, women’s empowerment, vulnerability
reduction with partnerships and convergence as a
cross-cutting theme. Experience suggests that triggering of
women’s agency at the community level through provision of
strategic inputs coupled with a conducive micro-environment
not only enhances a woman’s well-being within her household
but also has the potential to transform the community at large. |
