INTRODUCTION
Self-help groups (SHGs) play today a major role in poverty alleviation in rural
India. Self-help as a strategy for social development places emphasis on self-
reliance, human agency and action. It aims to mobilize people, to give them
voice and build peoples organizations that will overcome barriers to
participation and empowerment. The SHG system has proven to be very
relevant and effective in offering women the possibility to break gradually
away from exploitation and isolation. Almost all major donor agencies support
SHGs in India in one way or another and many success stories are available,
describing how membership in a SHG changed the life of a particular
individual or group for the better. Many NGOs are promoting the SHG
mechanism and linking it to various other development interventions.
Self Help Group is about people coming together with others who are
affected by a particular issue to support each other and to work together to
change the disadvantage affecting them. SHGs have another very important
role to play particularly in the transfer of technology to user group population.
It has been found by the members of SHGs that they offer them organizational
base, large resources and access to modern technology leading to employment
and income generation. Thus, SHG movement among the rural poor in
different parts of country is emerging as a very reliable and efficient mode for
technology transfer. However, it is strongly felt that the pace of transfer and
popularization of technologies must be accelerated so that even the small
farmer can benefit from new technologies.
SHG is group of rural poor who have volunteered to organize themselves
into a group for eradication of poverty of the members. They agree to save
regularly and convert their savings into a common fund known as the group
corpus. The members of the group agree to use this common fund and such
other funds that they may receive as a group through a common management.
The SHGs provide the benefit of economies of scale, cost effective services,
collective learning, democratic base of platform for dialogue and co-operation.
The functions of SHGs are based on co- operations rather than competition. It
follows the principle of “contribute according to our ability and extract
according to your need”.

PROBLEM DEFINITION
Poverty and unemployment are the twin problems faced by the developing
countries. The SHGs are informal groups formed on a voluntary basis, for
providing the necessary support to their members for their social and economic
emancipation. The distinguishing feature of the SHGs is creating social and
economic awareness enables the members to lead their life in a sound hygienic
environment and pursue a better living. The woman members involve
themselves more in taking decisions regarding the education of their children,
the investment of the family, managing the economic assets of the family and
bringing up cohesion among the members of the family and others for a better
living.
On the economic point of view both men and women work
shoulder to increase the income of the family. Every member of the SHGs has
felt the need for more involvement in economic activities. The spirit for social
and economic upliftment of members is the significant contribution of each
and every SHG. There is a general tendency to consider the SHGs as a panacea
for all the ills of therural community.
Generally, the problem arises within a SHG because of the
presence of women with diverse nature and habits within a single group who
disagree over various issues. As a result, that group as a whole face problems
in organising the rules and managing the activities of the group that could have
led to their common benefit. The major problems faced are the passive attitude
of the group members, difference in opinion among the group members,
problems arising from constant late or no repayment ofloans by a particular
member and other personal problems.
Usually, the groups with capable leaders are able to co-ordinate
and control these problems efficiently such that these problems do not hamper
the activities of the group. They convince the members so that mutual
understanding is increased and build up a uniform financial discipline within
the group without facing any difficulties. The role of NGOs in solving these
petty issues within a group is immensE
