Quality Issues• SHGs are to be autonomous, self-managed and self-

reliant groups. The dependence on promoters is high.• Limited training for SHGs (member education)• Though Rs.10,000 per SHG is needed as promotional

cost, not even half of that is invested in SHG capacity building.

• SHGs offer savings service to members• However, promoters place very little emphasis on

savings mobilization & utilization (eg. SHGs don’t pay interest on members savings)

• Though SHG – bank linkage is facilitated, utilization of loans for livelihoods does not get due attention.

• SHGs are increasingly becoming Credit Management Groups (CMGs)

• SHGs are becoming a channel for bank loans & for government schemes.

• MFIs have very limited focus on financial literacy

Financial Literacy – What has been done?• GoI & RBI are committed to financial inclusion• Financial literacy is a pre-requisite for FI• Two funds are established: FIF, FITF at NABARD• Opening of no-frills accounts by banks • To accelerate financial inclusion, technology

solutions are being explored (smart card projects, mobile technology, etc)

• National Alliance for Financial Literacy (NAFil) is promoted by Indian School of Microfinance for Women

• Use of Business Correspondent (BC) model• Limited work financial literacy reaching borrowers.

APMAS

What Can Be Done?• NABARD to establish a task force on SHGs (SHG

quality, bank linkage, SHG federations, financial literacy and social agenda)

• Autonomous state specific funds to be established jointly by NABARD, State Governments & SLBCs to fund capacity building of SHGs & financial literacy

• Campaign on savings mobilization & responsible borrowing.

• SHG federations to be strongly supported (funded) to work on financial literacy & to promote bank linkage

• A strong component of training SHG promoters and MFOs on financial literacy.

• Use of information technology to reach SHG members and MFI clients
