Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
NHG-Local government linkage looks forward to bring about synergistic implementation of programmes in health, agriculture, micro enterprises, social justice and women empowerment. Local government considers the social network of NHGs as the most effective and the cost saving mechanism for making participatory planning process with utmost reliability. Its ground level network envisages decision making bodies more participatory. Kudumbasree implements poverty alleviation programme through NHG women and the latter are the best agents to explore the poor and report their needs to the LG. They conduct multilevel divergent programmes on behalf of the local body in health, sanitation, poverty reduction, child welfare and communication. The formation of NHGs facilitates integration with the plan objectives such as agricultural production, poverty reduction, social equity and women empowerment and eventually revamps the entire system of local governance
