Women's self-help groups were started as a movement for women's empowerment. Self-reliance and dignity were the key words. NGOs stepped in to facilitate the process. Now one finds that the government is showing keen interest in promoting micro-credit groups through channels such as nationalized banks. What has prompted this shift in Government policy? What role does the present economy of nationalized banks play in microfinance? Sunita Bagal, who has been actively associated with the self-help groups movement will share her observations on these and other related issues. 

 

Sunita Bagal has worked with women in Maharashtra and neighbouring states in the fields of watershed development, disaster management and microfinance, for over two decades. She represented India at the Beijing+10 conference at Bangkok. At present she is an Ashoka Fellow, working on the formation of self-employed women's union in Maharashtra. She is associated with several urban and rural organizations as a consultant and trainer. She has authored the curriculum on micro-credits for the Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University.
