<strong>IWMP</strong>-1 (Kadegi)<br />

Before formation <strong>of</strong> the SHGs, during PRA activities, Focussed Group Discussions (FGDs) were held with the women, which<br />

came up with the following observations:<br />

a) Lack <strong>of</strong> proper credit facilities due to low intervention <strong>of</strong> formal financial credit institution.<br />

b) Excessive exploitation <strong>of</strong> weaker section by money lenders<br />

c) Lack <strong>of</strong> attitude for saving among poor people<br />

d) Lack <strong>of</strong> knowledge on credit and thrift activity and banking.<br />

With a detailed discussion with some <strong>of</strong> the local working in the area like Sakhi Mandal, it was planned to have some capacity<br />

building training regarding SHG activities. It was also proposed to have some livelihood activities which will promote women<br />

empowerment.<br />
