Answer 1

Answer:

Beyond their function as a savings and credit group, SHG's offer poor women a platform for building solidarity. They allow women to come together and act on issues related to their own lives including health, nutrition, governance and gender justice.

How self-help groups work

NABARD (1997) captures this by defining SHGs as "small, economically homogenous affinity groups of rural poor, voluntarily formed to save and mutually contribute to a common fund to be lent to its members as per the group members' decision".
