Self-Help Group (SHG) Bank Linkage Programme:
The SHG Bank Linkage Programme has emerged as the major micro-finance programmed in the county. By the banking system the focus under the SHG bank Linkage Programme is largely on those rural poor who have no sustained access to the formal banking system. The target group therefore broadly comprises small and marginal farmers, agricultural and non-agricultural labourers, artisan and craftsman and other poor engaged in small business like vending and hawking.
