This study looks into how members of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in a few northern Tamil Nadu districts are empowered as a result of microfinance. Analyzing the contribution of microfinance to the enhancement of SHG mem-bers' social and economic well-being is the primary objective. The study's objectives are to evaluate the contribution of microfinance to financial inclusion, investigate the socioeconomic shifts that SHG members have undergone, and pinpoint the opportunities and problems related to microfinance interventions. The study methodology includes quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews in addition to a thorough analysis of the body of current literature. The study aims to capture the various viewpoints and experiences of SHG members involved in microfinance programs through these diversified methodologies. The important role that microfinance plays in fostering financial inclusion among Self-Help Group (SHG) members is highlighted by preliminary data, which show that members have more access to savings and credit options. Notable socioeconomic gains also become apparent, such as higher income production, higher living standards, and better decision making among SHG members. Along with encouraging results, the report meticulously notes difficulties that Self-Help Group (SHG) members encounter, such as problems with interest rates, little knowledge, and administrative barriers to microfinance services. In summary, this study sheds light on the complex relationship between microfinance and SHG empowerment, providing insightful information for all parties involved. By offering a nuanced view of the potential and limitations inherent in microfinance interventions, the findings add to the current discourse on community development.

The Niger State Rice Investment Consortium (NSRIC) project, Niger State Agricultural Policy, promotes the transformation of the predominantly subsistence Agricultural production system to a modernized and Commercial-oriented system. Total sample size of 234 (made up of 117 participants and 117 non-participants), drawn from twelve (12) localities in three (3) Local Government Areas (LGAs), were selected through multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using well-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics, Ordinary Least Square Model and Henry Garrett Technique. The results showed that the respondents were in their productive age with mean age of 39 and 44 years for participants and non-participants respectively. It was observed that 80.34% and 81.22% of the participants and non-participants respectively were married. The mean farm sizes were 2.0ha and 1.84ha for participants and non-participants respectively. The regression estimates for income among the respondents showed that the coefficient of farm size, frequency of extension contact and capital were significant at 1 percent probability level and positive for the participants, non-participants, pooled data and pooled data with dummy. The result of Henry Garrett Ranking Technique revealed that poor access road was ranked first most pressing farmers’ constraint with a Garrett mean score of 52.27 and 53.09, and lack of government policy on commercialization was ranked the tenth farmers’ constraint.
