Remarkable Progress

In this paper an attempt has been made to analyse the progress of SHG-Bank linkage programme in India during the period between 2007-2008 and 2019-2020. The progress of SHG-Bank linkage programme has been analyzed in terms growth of savings of SHGs with banks and growth of bank loans disbursed to SHGs. For this purpose the data required for the study were collected from the official publication of National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD), different published reports, journals and existing available literature. This study employed simple statistical tools such as percentage analysis and averages to analyze the data. The result of the study shows that there is significant raise in the amount of savings of SHGs with banking sector and amount of loans disbursed to SHGs, During this study period. However the agency-wise analyses of savings of SHGs and loans disbursed to SHGs show that the Commercial banks lead in getting savings of SHGs and loans disbursed to them followed by Regional Rural Banks and Co-operative banks. Not with standing the remarkable progress, geographically there has been skewed development of SHG-Bank linkage programme in India. There is wide regional disparity in the spread of SHGs, savings of SHGs with banks and loans disbursed to SHGs under this programme. The outreach of this programme is spectacular in Southern region while North, West and Eastern regions are lagging behind. In view of the large outreach, predominant position and the possible benefits to the poor, it is very important to see the benefits of this programme to reach across all sections of the society and regions. So far the SHG movement is India is mostly South-Centric and it is yet to take off the real sense in other regions of India.

Digital Green is a prime example of a development intervention aimed not only at the poor but “by the poor”, as a content or knowledge disseminator to rural users The case is written in the form of multiple scenes that unfold organically to paint a bigger picture of what the organization does and the different players and groups that take part to make this intervention a success. The reader is exposed to different view-point and actions taken by various stakeholders: the Village Resource Person from the local government organization, the self-help group member who features in the video and the Assistant Program Manager (APM) for Digital Green. This case can be used in courses that teach ‘Development and ICT’ and generic courses in BOP development that want to highlight issues related to scalability of an intervention, local relevance and buy in (adoptability), and understanding ground realities.

Abstract This case study tells the story of the village of Kandhkelgaon in Saintala Block, Bolangir district, Orissa, India, and the role that aquaculture and fisheries can play in the livelihoods of people who are poor in eastern India. It describes how women who could no longer make a living from weaving formed a self-help group (SHG) to start aquaculture activities and how success came, not just through income generation but also by reducing the cost of being poor by achieving access to more financial products such as life insurance and savings. The story highlights the influences that constrain and enhance development, including the value of social capital, the struggle for entitlements, and the sheer bravery and entrepreneurial spirit of people who are poor.
