Since its inception in 2011, around 25 lakh SHG Federations and more than 58 lakh SHGs have been promoted and are functional across India. However, are these women collectives self- sustainable? Are the current institution building processes adequate? What could be the possible way forward?
Is the work of livelihood promoting non-profits relevant to keep the rural youths in the villages and meet their aspirations in today’s context?
