After independence the main agenda for development of society was poverty alleviation. 26.1% of the total population lives below poverty line. Sustainability and improvement in the life of rural people is the main agenda of all developmental programmes. During that time all the development programmes implemented by the government were unified into one self employment programme referred to as Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY). The Ministry of Rural Development was determined to restructure the continuing SGSY into National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). The main strategy was to encourage women in rural households to be part of Self-Help Group. Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) was launched in June 2011. The constraints were the restrictions SHG women members face in performing various functions in the SHGs. For the study purpose the interview schedule was prepared, women member (n=280) and government officials (n=20) were asked about the various constraints being faced by them. Based on the findings of the study, various constraints were Administrative constraints (majority of the respondents reported less number of working staff as a major constraint), Social constraints (reluctance of the members to take leadership role was the main constraint reported by SHG members), Empowering constraints (lack of freedom to take decisions and lack of equal treatment were reported as the major constraints), Management constraints (lack of space was the major constraint) and marketing constraints (transportation problems and lack of market information were reported as the major constraints).

Different Levels

With the growth in technology, it is very clear that there is a change among women though SHGs for growth and development of themselves through participation in developmental programmes. The researcher presents this study with the fervent hope that this will draw the attention of the authorities, departments and organisations concerned with micro-finance and SHGs on various issues in respect of development of women. The study constitutes a sample of 399 respondents. Primary data was collected from the SHG members by using structured interview. The findings of the study indicate that women and their progress identity can be achieved.  To make the SHGs really meaningful and successful, the government at different levels has to intervene in a large scale not as provider of finance or provider of other inputs, but as facilitator and promoter. It is also thus important to view micro-credit programmes as a complement rather than a substitute for effective policies to be able to transform national and international development of women. Int.

In recent times, land acquisitions in India for both public and private projects are facing stiff political resistance. Existing studies on land acquisition mostly focus on optimal compensation that would secure the consent of land owners. In this article, we argue that besides compensation, membership in different types of networks such as political parties and self-help groups might influence landowner consent. This could occur either because of pro-social concerns or access to better investment opportunities for the compensation amount. Using survey data from flood prone Indian Sundarbans, where the government sought to acquire land to construct embankments, we find evidence supportive of our hypothesis. The survey elicited reservation price response from land owners for a hypothetical land acquisition program. Our estimates show that land owners with self-help group members are more likely to have a higher ask price for agreeing to land sales. In contrast, controlling for length of party association, members of political networks are more likely to sell their land and have a lower reservation price than their non-political counterparts. Our results suggest that, rather than only increasing the compensation package, which is a stock of wealth, it is equally important to enhance the flow of income to ensure consensual land sales.

Secondary data are collected from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, 2019. Four variables are employ for this study. These are Private Sector Output as proxy for performance of private sector economy and used as the dependent variable; whereas, the explanatory variables include Tax, Recurrent Expenditure and Capital Expenditure. Hypotheses are formulated and tested using time series econometric models. The result confirms that about 68% short-run adjustment speed from long-run disequilibrium. The study shows a significant relationship between capital expenditure and private sector output in Nigeria. Taxation has a significant relationship with private sector output in Nigeria. Recurrent expenditure has a significant relationship with private sector output in Nigeria. The coefficient of determination indicates that about 62% of the variations in economic growth can be explain by changes in fiscal policy variables in Nigeria. The study concludes that fiscal policy has a significant relationship with the growth and development of Nigerian economy. The study recommends that more resources should be relocated to productive sectors and increasing and sustaining a spending on the productive sectors of the economy.

The Impact

Development is a multi-dimensional process that affects society in multiple ways. It is well documented that women constitute about half of the world’s population but their share in the economy and other development spheres remain neglected. In addition, this large section of population (including Indian women) have been suffering from various disadvantages - lack of accessibility to resources, non-recognition of their economic contribution within the family and society. In order to resolve these emerging challenges, Government of India (GOI) has implemented various programmes and policies since Independence. Among these programmes, Self Help Groups (SHGs) may be considered as a significant initiative of the government as well as the non-governmental organisations (NGOs). These are based on the principle of democratic process of development. The democratic institution provides a platform to the socially and economically deprived sections and encourages them for economic participation. Since the 1970s, SHGs have been working in many states of India and contributing to the development processes. The present paper is an attempt to analyse the contribution of SHGs in women’s development in the district of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. The impact of these groups on women’s development has been analysed by Gender Development Index (GDI), which focused on the male-female differences in terms of longevity of life, knowledge and economic betterment.Key words: Development, Self Help Groups, Women in Development, Varanasi, India

Linkage Program

Financial inclusion has been a major theme in both industrialized and developing economies in the era of financial globalization. When microcredit institutions have received limited success in many countries, microfinance is being used in India for the purpose of accomplishing universal financial inclusion. This paper recognizes the overwhelming efforts of the Government of India and focuses on the success of the linkage between commercial banks and self-help groups (SHGs). The SHGs comprising predominantly women groups help in the social cause of alleviation of poverty, , increase of sustainability, reduction of vulnerability, improvement of capacity building and help the weaker sections build assets. Increased education, better standard of living, reduced child mortality and child labor, emancipation cum empowerment of women, and communal harmony are value adding benefits to the country.
