Self-Help Group Trainings bank credit linkage, book audits

SHG (self-help group) is a community-based group with 10-20 members. They are usually women from similar social and economic backgrounds, all voluntarily coming together to save small sums of money on a regular basis. They pool their resources to become financially stable, taking loans from their collective savings in times of emergency or financial scarcity, important life events, or to purchase assets. The group members use collective wisdom and peer pressure to ensure proper end-use of credit and timely repayment. In India, RBI regulations mandate that banks offer financial services, including collateral-free loans to these groups at very low-interest rates. This allows poor women to circumvent the challenges of exclusion from institutional financial services. This system is closely related to that of solidarity lending, widely used by microfinance institutions.

Sashakt Program

We started with the support of Tata Education & Development Trust and have implemented the “Sashakt-HP printer Initiative" in Karnataka among 275 women. This initiative enables women to set up enterprises to own and control, and also builds women's empowerment by building their capacities. Project “Sashakt” created a space for Rural Development by fostering entrepreneurial opportunities and addressing the need for affordable and accessible printing facilities in rural villages. Project Sashakt embarked new technical skill set among 275 rural women in Karnataka and instilled self-confidence and agency in women at the grassroots.

Paper bag/Cloth Bag making training program (NABARD Sponsored)

We conducted three batches of paper bag training as per terms of sanction. The sessions were handled by experts and included REDP classes as well as hand on practice of the art and skill of paper bag manufacturing. Initially, participants started making bags of newspaper to home their skill gradually moving to brown paper and then finally different color papers. As per norms, we supplied materials kits scissors, cutter, whole punch, color paper, tag, and gum. The participants were thought to make different types of bags as well as different styles and sizes of bags. The participants were motivated to start their own unit and earn additional income for the family.
