The Meaning of Sufficiency Economy <br />
International Conference<br />
The sample study reveals that about 65% of the respondents have been the<br />
members of SHGs for 4 years followed by 28% of the respondents being the<br />
members of groups for 5 years. It is also found that about 56% of the members have<br />
accumulated savings ranging from Rs.1000 – 2000 per member and 22% of the<br />
members have accumulated more than Rs.2000. Usually the members contribute<br />
their savings before 15th of every month in the monthly meeting. But a few<br />
members are irregular in their contribution due to various reasons like inability to<br />
attend the meeting, irregular wage – income and unforeseen household expenses.<br />
But saving members constitute 100% in the sample study.<br />
