They serve as an inspiration to the community, not solely for their income, but for their transformation journey through adopting sustainable livelihood practices (farm or non-farm or service), effectively managing resources, and achieving a decent standard of life.
The SHG groups have fostered collective action and mutual support, while also serving as conduits for crucial financial literacy, skill development, and livelihood assistance. Notably, the focus has shifted beyond mere social and financial inclusion, now aiming to empower SHG members to pursue entrepreneurial ventures. Their inherent skills and potential position them well to move towards higher income brackets. The government is now actively supporting this transition and initiatives like Lakhpati Didi.
