Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper is an attempt towards the construction on Lodha SHGs of Daharpur Sabar Palli of Narayangarh Block in Paschim Medinipur District. We have found 6 Self Help Groups constituted by Lodha Women. The members of each group is 10 and the monthly subscription for each member is 40/- in four groups while it is 50/- rupees in case of two groups. The six SHGs have their own names. The Netaji and Khudiram SHGs were established in 2005 and the other four groups were established in 2008. All groups are very active. Each member of every group took active part for their development. The educational qualification of SHG members was very low; only 4 women were educated out of 60 nos. Their socio-economic background is very poor; most of the members however have own homestead land. Some of them have agricultural land. Only two members of SHG got Patta Land from Govt. Our inferiors with the Lodha SHG members revealed that for the last four years the local Panchayat did not extended any help or cooperation for the promotion of the SHG which have made them marginalized. These SHGs were formed totally by the own initiative of the Lodha women. The study revealed marginalization of the Lodhas in the spheres of Self-Help-Group Formation. Finally, we give some suggestions for improvement and smooth running of the Lodha SHGs in the study area.
