The Self Help Group Scheme is an important initiative that aims to help small-scale industry workers towards self-reliance. Under this scheme, workers are provided support to form groups for prosperity and development so that they can access financial assistance.

This scheme encourages the establishment of self-help groups, in which several people come together to form a group and can start small-scale industries by obtaining loans through this group. The main goal is to promote mutual cooperation and self-reliance.

The required loan is provided to the group on an audited basis so that small-scale industrialists can promote their business. This loan is obtained through mutual cooperation and helps in entrepreneurship, through which people can develop their self-reliant capacity.

People benefiting from the Self Help Group Scheme can, along with their group members, increase entrepreneurship in various sectors, thereby improving their social and economic condition.
