Introduction
In India, according to 2001 Census, there are 49, 57, 38,169 women as
against 53, 12, 77,078 men. Thus the female population in the country is about
48.27 percent and the sex ratio is 933, per thousand males. Among these women a
sizeable section constitutes rural work force. The realization of women’s full
potential is a crucial to the overall socio – economic development and growth of a
society. With regards to women’s multi dimensional responsibilities it is required to
strengthen the status of rural women economically to enable them to stand in
society on their own with confidence. Self Help Groups (SHGs) are viable
alternative to achieve the objectives of rural development and to get community
participation in all rural development programmes. The SHG approach has been
widely recognised in India as a viable approach for building social capital, to break
the systemic barriers between the mainstream financial service providers and poor
communities, especially women, and to meet the financial needs of the poor and
marginalized households. The growth trajectory of the SHG approach is to take
the path of collective action supported by collective mobilization and management
of resources.
Hundreds of promoting institutions, both Government and non-government,
are experimenting with innovative approaches to developing clusters and
federations of SHGs. Emergence of cluster-level associations or federations of
SHGs seems to be quite a natural corollary to forming number of women SHGs in a
compact area. SHGs from the same village or panchayat or two or three
neighbouring villages meet periodically in what may be termed as cluster meeting.
This is the first stage of emergence of SHG clusters. Networking of SHGs was
inspired by their felt need to be able to deal with issues beyond their reach. Inter
group lending, ability to negotiate with high-level structures and to gain greater
bargaining power, were the reason for NGOs initiating SHG federations. When a
number of SHGs get together to achieve certain common objectives but retain
their independence within themselves, is called federation of SHGs. Federation is
basically a platform for its members to address the social and economic issues
collectively. SHGs being small in size, have limited financial services that they can
provide, while by forming federation of SHGs, which brings together several SHGs,
they have the ability to overcome limitations of SHGs. It has been seen that
although there are lots of SHGs in eastern part of our country, but the concept of
cluster and federation is not clear amongst the functionaries of NGOs who are
forming the SHGs. Keeping this in view, the NIPCCD, Regional Centre, Guwahati is
planning to organise a “Training Programme for the Representatives of Voluntary
Organizations on Formation of Clusters and Federations” from 27 – 30 July,
2010 at its premises at Guwahati.
