Abstract :
India, the world's most populous country, is
grappling with the significant challenge of a majority of
its population residing in rural areas. To tackle this issue,
the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of
India has implemented the National Rural Livelihood
Mission (NRLM).This paper is an attempt to surface
critical challenges faced by SHGs, possible solutions, and
government efforts to address these challenges. Direct
interaction with women of SHGs is done with the focused
group method in the Ghaziabad district of Uttar
Pradesh, further solutions for these critical difficulties
are developed with the interaction of Government
officials and other experts.We have clustered the critical
factors affecting women's participation. Experts’
solutions and governmental action to take care of these
issues are also identified and reported in the paper. The
research is unique as it not only identifies the problems
but suggests possible solutions for the issue. Research
implications are wide, it can be taken as an ignition to a
series of such researches, and more important is to
develop solution strategies in advance.
