Micro Credit

Microfinance and micro-credit practices have become a popular means of local development. In India, their expansion has been largest in Tamilnadu. These practices target primarily women, who are encouraged to construct self-help-groups in order to have a social basis for raising collateral and for receiving financial services. Microfinance has been perceived by the public as inducing strong positive effects on women’s empowerment and as strengthening the democratic fibre. From these standpoints, expansion and effects, it has been evaluated and analyzed whether microfinance can empower women and if empowered women can make a difference in women’s and societal issues. Interestingly, this study found that most women in this association experienced increased income and therefore improved their economic status, political and social conditions after receiving the loans. This result therefore further upholds the main purpose and objectives of microfinance in general

Self Help Groups

The relation of globalization with social and economic empowerment of Dalit women is a highly contested issue especially when they continue to be victims of discrimination on the basis of their caste, class and gender. One of the major innovations of globalization in India is the microcredit loans and Self-Help Groups (SHGs) that were formed with the aim of increasing the financial independence of Dalit and poor Indian women. Although increasing number of women participate in SHGs, I argue that it is the Dalit women who do not receive their adequate benefits due to the existing division between Dalit and non-Dalit women, the role of the intermediaries and the subordination that is inflicted upon them by Dalit men. Finally, this study concludes that it is only when reforms are built specifically targeting the plight of Dalit women, then they will bring a change in their social and economic status.
