“…Members of SHGs have experience changes in their lives, which have led to rural development and will go a long way in achieving inclusive growth in India (Mishra, 2017).SHGs engaged in constructing micro-enterprises in India normally need to be able to fulfil the needs of finance, training and skills development (Singh et al, 2011).After participation in SHGs, women are able to take decisions regarding their political and economic domain and help them realise their empowerment goals (Henriques, 2016).SHGs have been found successful in savings mobilisation and getting credit for economic needs of the members (Lokahande, 2015).Financial inclusion has led to a remarkable change in the financial environment of the world, changing much of the liability of the individual to supervise their future plan for their money and wellbeing (Narula, 2017).…”

Microfinance is the provision of financial services to the rural and underprivileged sections of the society to engage in income-generating activities for their own growth and progress. This paper examines the income generating activities of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) for empowerment of women. It also analyses the saving preferences of SHG members and examines the financial literacy of these members after joining the SHGs. The analysis reveals that the different types of income generating activities started by SHG members include embroidery work, dairy, flower and bangle making, jute work, stitching work, vegetable cultivation and own shop. Among these, ‘own shop’ is the most prominent income generating activity followed by ‘stitching work’. In terms of saving preference, ‘own business development’ is their first saving preference for sustainable livelihood; ‘education of children’ is their saving preference for future of their children and ‘repairing of house’ is their saving preference for immediate expenditure. The analysis in terms of financial literacy reveals that financial literacy of SHG members regarding ration card, voter card, bank account and their phone number has increased after joining of SHGs.

“…Generally, Enterprise development based on local resources is a widely used strategy among SHGs for economic development (Hasalkar et al, 2005;Singh et al, 2011). Besides this, SHGs are actively involved in group loans, thrift and savings, skill development, and exploring local resources individually or collectively to meet their livelihood (Sharma et al, 2012;Ghosh & Bose, 2017).…”

The study aims to explore the linkages between self-help groups (SHGs) and destination sustainability. These linkages, examined through literature review, interview, and observation methodology to explore these linkages. The study observed that the impact of SHGs on tourist destinations could be assessed as changes due to their intervention in destination areas following Input-Output- Outcome Model. The community-level sustainability initiatives are construed as input variables; the result of initiatives is considered output, and the subsequent changes in the area as outcome variables. The study assumes significance in assessing the impact of community intervention based on local action initiated through SHGs with outcome variables generated from the locality concerned. Further, the study gives a more holistic approach to understanding the intervention strategies of SHGs pivoting around the coexistence of good guest-host relationships in tourism.
