Formation of Self Help Groups

A life of dignity is the right of every citizen. Poverty is an obstruction to a dignified life. Self employment is a significant step to have sustained incomes and remove the shackles of poverty.
Sagara Education and Development Society (SEDS) continue to promote, nurture and capacitate a number of Self Help Groups for Women and inculcate saving habits in them. Continuous efforts are undertaken for the capacity building of these SHGs, to increase their ability to function independently with minimum support from outside. These SHGs are formed with the objective of empowering local communities which will enable them to take decisions concerning their own economic development. The groups are trained on planning, book keeping, financial management, conflict management and take up humanitarian activities. Regular trainings and exposure visits to other SHG initiatives are undertaken to encourage self-reliance and sustainability.
Sagara Education and Development Society (SEDS) interact with rural and urban women to build awareness on various issues which they are facing and ways and means by which they can overcome them. It leads to introduction of SHG where women inculcate a habit of saving, have availability of finances in an emergency as well as for need — based requirements.
