SHGs as business units – Currently, SHGs are, or at least perceived as microfinance units which mainly does savings and credit for the bottom of pyramid.
Using SHG Network for delivering Government services: The implementation of Government programs in India lacks transparency and efficiency.
SHGs as tool for combating Social Problems: The Social capital of SHGs could be an asset for solving various social issues in India e.g. gender based discrimination, dowry system, casteism etc. SHGs are a homogeneous unit but at village level and cluster level, women meet regularly and work together in harmony.
