Policies and programmes should simultaneously seek to increase women’s confidence, awareness, negotiation ability, literacy, health, as well as women’s vocational, entrepreneurial and management skills, to enable micro finance inputs to translate into sustained empowerment. The costs of enabling that empowerment through extensive training inputs and other strategies need to be considered a necessary and direct cost commitment of all micro credit based programmes. SHGs are being promoted as a part of the micro finance intervention aimed at helping the poor to obtain every financial service like savings, credit and insurance. SHG approach is the key element of social mobilization being devoid of bureaucratization and politicization. It provides credit to rural women on easy term with access to several income generating activities. | | Keywords : | | - Micro-finance,poverty,Pavalavaddi,savings,employment,
