People are talking about the downfall of Micro Finance Programmes. A few of them blame SHGs for the fate. In my experience, I would say it is not the fault of SHGs per se. The fault lies in the way, the SHGs are groomed and focused. The grooming should focus more on gradual increase of savings, profitable investments of larger credit and application of loan absorption capacity of the borrowing members. Micro finance will work as long as it adopts the same principles and when it is local centered and locally managed. What we need is professional approach in SHGs. It should not be replaced with large scale MFIs. It is too danger to retract when it goes wrong.

The fault is not with the SHGs sir ! It lies with the MFIs itself. Bowrrowing at 12-13% and lending the same to SHGs or individuals at 36% and in some cases 48% is ridiculous. Due to this, SHGs will collapse first and MFIs later. That is what happened at Andhra Pradesh for SKS and Government had to intervene !

Definitely without hard work, no one can establish themselves. But to become visible and prominent, we need luck too. Luck sometimes comes in the form of a mentor or supporter or motivator.
