Beschreibung:
Since 1950's various governments have experiments with a large number of poverty alleviation programmes. These programmes, often not sustainable, have perpetuated the 'dependency syndrome' and both the components of institutional credit and governmental subsidy were misused. These programmes were treated at best as poverty alleviation interventions. This book is based on the findings of a research study conducted on "Micro-Finance Programmes and Women Empowerment" in a backward region in the state of Andhra Pradesh. An in-depth study of the mechanism of micro-finance and the evolution of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), especially in the state of Andhra Pradesh which has the distinction of highest number of SHGs, are made. Besides, the distinct feature of this book is that it made a critical study of the differential impact of micro-finance on target group beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries with regard to employment creation, income generation, savings and expenditure pattern, and asset creation. Further, the repayment performance of the beneficiaries of SHGs and the participation of women beneficiaries in decision-making is studied. 1.
