Explanation:

basic objective of self help group:

The basic objective of the Self Help Groups' (SHG's) is to organize the rural poor, in particular, women, into small groups so that they can pool in their savings. Usually belonging to one neighbourhood, these SHG's consist of 15-20 members who meet and save regularly. The savings per member varies from Rs 25 to Rs 100 or more, depending upon the ability of the people to save.

Working of self help group:

SHG is nothing but a group of people who are on daily wages, they form a group and from that group one person collects the money and gives the money to the person who is in need. Members also make small regular savings contributions over a few months until there is enough money in the group to begin lending.

advantages of self help group for poor:

  • They help the rural women to become self reliant.
