EDITORIAL: Technology delivery to SHGs<br />
omen’s Self Help Groups (SHG) appeared as an<br />
Winnovation in the eighties but soon became<br />
recognised as a fundamental concept of development. An<br />
SHG is a social unit with potential to trans<strong>for</strong>m the<br />
economics and polity of the country.<br />
With the contribution of Dr Mohammad Yunus in linking<br />
SHG to credit delivery and similar works by SEWA in<br />
Ahmedabad the concept became globally recognized.<br />
Women through their SHGs numbering tens of lakhs have<br />
proved that it is a tool <strong>for</strong> their saving and money<br />
management; but through the exploitative policies of<br />
micro-financing institutions (MFIs) this significant gain has<br />
been annulled.<br />
Our aim here is to indicate the potential of SHGs in filling<br />
major gaps in rural industrialization through:<br />
- acting as the first link in the value chain of agri-based<br />
industrial activities (AGRINDUS)<br />
- reducing the cost of productions / distribution by carrying<br />
out various processes of value addition using the<br />
infrastructure at household level and village level so that<br />
with an appropriately designed ‘Advanced Facility Centre’<br />
(AFC) at the cluster head quarter production / services of<br />
global quality could be achieved. The cost advantage of<br />
cheaper raw materials and labour will also help.<br />
The challenge is ‘technology transfer’ to the SHGs: firstly<br />
due to the sheer magnitude. According to NABARD the<br />
number of SHGs seeking linkage with bank credit are 2.2<br />
million involving 33 million members while the other<br />
segment is of equal size or more. The fact that even the<br />
best Indian model namely Kudumbashree of Kerala (with<br />
its 1.87 lakh SHGs catering to 36 lakh families) has<br />
2,55,270 farm based credits while only 376 are related to<br />
enterprises. This is in spite of the good links with<br />
technology through dedicated grass-roots movement like<br />
KSSP (Kerala Sashtra Sahitya Parishad) and specialised<br />
Rural Technology Resource Centres like the one at<br />
Mundur - Palghat.<br />
Tamilnadu’s SHG movement has many breakthroughs in<br />
terms of organizational innovations (like companies<br />
constituted by SHGs: example - Gram Mooligai Company<br />
Ltd (GMCL)), product ranges and NGO backed supporting<br />
structures <strong>for</strong> technology, quality guidance and market<br />
support.<br />
But when one sees the really mighty and vibrant network<br />
of SHGs of Andhra Pardesh (organised into federations,<br />
samakhyas etc at Panchayat, block, district levels) one<br />
feels that the women have been left to be content with their<br />
small farms, sheeps and pigs and not enabled<br />
technologically to aggressively penetrate into value<br />
addition directions or other enterprises including services.<br />
There appears to be no national structure <strong>for</strong> technology<br />
delivery in favour of the SHG network.<br />
Now, how to conceive of this complex process of<br />
technology transfer involving a large number of<br />
technology sources on one hand and millions of SHGs<br />
along with their higher level structures on the other.<br />
We take a clue from the national level skill development<br />
mission started in 2008 with the task of bringing out 500<br />
million persons trained in global skills. It is sought to be<br />
achieved through NSDC (a partnership between Union<br />
Government and Industry Associations). New possibilities<br />
have arisen: A few new specialised skilling companies like<br />
IIJT, Indiaskills, Everonn will fulfill a target of 150 million<br />
leaving 100 million to Labour Ministry and 250 million to<br />
other institutions under National Skill Development Board.<br />
The current problem is technology transfer and needs<br />
EC sets a new vision <strong>for</strong> <strong>MGIRI</strong><br />
th<br />
he 7 meeting of the Executive Committee of <strong>MGIRI</strong> took<br />
Tplace on 16-3-<strong>2011</strong> at <strong>MGIRI</strong>, Wardha and was presided<br />
over by its Chairman Mr Udayakumar Varma, IAS. Important<br />
decisions related to <strong>MGIRI</strong>’s infrastructural aspects like guest<br />
house, vehicles and administrative staff were taken besides<br />
budget, delegation of authorities, etc. Emphasizing tha t the<br />
essential aim of <strong>MGIRI</strong> should be to transfer innovations to<br />
the field with a view to benefit rural industries sector and<br />
entrepreneurs. The Secretary indicated: “While how many<br />
technologies are developed is important, it is equally, if not<br />
more, important as to how many have been actually<br />
trans<strong>for</strong>med into fruitful adoption by entrepreneurs in the<br />
sector”. The Chairman also instructed that special interministerial<br />
meetings should be conducted at Delhi to evolve a<br />
strategy <strong>for</strong> taking <strong>for</strong>ward important <strong>MGIRI</strong> technologies like<br />
solar charkha.<br />

Hand-driven looms to give way to solar ones<br />
Mandi, <strong>March</strong> 4 | Kuldeep Chauhan | Tribune News Service<br />
Village artisans and small entrepreneurs, including women, will now say goodbye to handdriven<br />
looms. They will now use eco-friendly solar-driven looms to produce their high-end<br />
products and sell these in shopping plazas in cities and metros and showcase them online.<br />
Kumud Joshi, chairperson, Khadi and Gramodyog Commission, who along with <strong>for</strong>mer Mandi<br />
MP Pratibha Singh, today inaugurated the sale-cum-exhibition put up by 72 exhibitors from the<br />
country at Paddal Maidan here on the occasion of the week-long Shivaratri fair.<br />
The exhibition is organised by the Khadi Board, the Coir Board, the National Small-Scale<br />
Enterprises Corporation under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME)<br />
headed by Mandi MP Virbhadra Singh.Joshi says that the Khadi Board and the MSME has<br />
planned to link each village entrepreneurs to national markets through value additions. The<br />
board has planned a pilot project of “women empowerment” that will give them training to use<br />
their products and link them to banks and give them access to big markets in the country.<br />
She says the commission in tandem with the MSME has planned to set up over 1,000 units.<br />
“We will provide employment to village artisans. They can use solar charkhas and looms to<br />
weave shawls and other products using technology to make them compete globally”. She<br />
says they can showcase their products online though the website, www.ruralhaat.com.<br />
CEO Khadi and Village Commission JS Mishra says that the MSME has planned to launch<br />
1000 units in Himachal. He says the MSME has generated output worth Rs 21,000 crore last<br />
year and employed 2 lakh persons out of which 10,000 were in khadi units. Pratibha Singh says<br />
the exhibition will benefit visitors and they will work with the state government to take advantage<br />
of MSME under Virbhadra Singh. Mandi Sadar MLA Anil Sharma, OSD to the MSME Amitpal<br />
Singh, member, khadi board (north) Ramdas Sharma and others were also present on the<br />
occasion.<br />
