- Abstract
Women are generally worse off economically than men and the consequences of their poverty are more serious for future generations. Women experience greater poverty and transmit their disadvantages more readily to their children, thus carry on the cycle of poverty. In India after Independence the policy makers focused on rural development in five year plans and growing inequality between the rich and poor in rural area has brought urgency to development. To achieve the objectives of rural development, to curb inequality among rich and poor and women empowerment various schemes have been formulated time to time by the policy makers. It is the mater of concern that most of the poverty alleviation programmes could not reduce the incidence of poverty. There are various reasons found for the failure of these programmes. The key reason for failure are wrong selection of beneficiaries, leakages, corruption and malpractices, absence of backward and forward linkage in the project and inadequacy in delivery and monitoring of credit (agricultural credit review committee 1988) Hence the scheme like Integrated Rural Development Program (IRDP), Ganga Kalyan Yogana (GKY) were amalgamated by the Govt. of India and merged into single new scheme called "Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana" (SGSY) in April 1999. It has been considered as a holistic programme of self employment of rural poor by organization of poor into SHGs and their capacity building, training, selection of key activity, infrastructure build up, technology and marketing support. The present study attempts to focus on performance of SHGs in Ambernath Taluka under SGSY scheme.
