INTRODUCTION AND DESIGN OF THE STUDY

1.1 INTRODUCTION:

The Indian microfinance sector witnessed tremendous growth over the last five years,

during which institutions were subject to little regulation. Micro credit programmes extend small

loans to poor people for self-employment projects that generate income, allowing them to care

for themselves and their families. Some microfinance institutions were subject to prudential

requirements; however no regulation addressed lending practices, pricing, or operations.

Micro credit has come to be recognized and accepted as one of the new development

paradigms for alleviating poverty through social and economic empowerment of the poor, with

focus on empowering women. Credit is usually provided to groups of individuals or village

organizations that use joint-liability to enforce loan repayment. Through group savings and

loans, poor people often increase their economic security and well being. Over the past two

decades micro credit programs have emerged as one of the leading strategies in the overall

movement to end poverty. Micro credit programmes have become a major tool of development

and found to be the only practical and most appropriate solution to alleviate poverty.

Micro credit programmes have been employed in developing countries for some years,

and their effectiveness in the development and poverty alleviation is increasingly acknowledged.

In many countries micro credit programmes have proved to be an effective tool in freeing people

from poverty and have helped to increase their participation in the economic and political

processes of society. The Asia-Pacific region is home to many micro credit institutions, and the

majority of programs are directed at women in rural areas. Targeting women as clients of micro

credit programs has been an effective method to ensure that the benefits of increased family

income are directed towards the general welfare of the family, and particularly the children. The

combination of minimal regulation and rapid sector growth led to an environment where

customers were increasingly dissatisfied with microfinance services, culminating in the Andhra

Pradesh crisis in the fall of 2010. For the purpose of this article, data published by National Bank

for Agriculture and Rural Development in India have been used.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Microfinance needs a lot of regulation in the country as the experience with

private microfinance has not been very good, though the Andhra Pradesh Government was

extending microfinance to self-help groups at 3.5 per cent interest rate, private institutions were

charging between 20 and 25 per cent. “When a person is still fighting poverty, you cannot expect

him to pay high interest,” Microfinance was usually taken for onetime investments and though

the poor seek money for creating an asset and thereby economic activity, they generally end up

clearing previous debts or giving it away in dowry to their daughter’s marriage or paying

hospital bills. Microfinance is largely supporting to SHG’s, various banks are supporting for the

growth of microfinance. In order to find out the reason for the above said the researcher has

framed the objectives below.

1.3 OBJECTIVES

CHAPTER- II

MICROFINANCE AND SELF HELP GROUP

2.1 MICROFINANCE IN INDIA

Microfinance sector has traversed a long journey from micro savings to micro credit and

then to micro enterprises and now entered the field of micro insurance, micro remittance and

micro pension. This gradual and evolutionary growth process has given a great opportunity to the

rural poor in India to attain reasonable economic, social and cultural empowerment, leading to

better living standard and quality of life for participating households. Financial institutions in the

country continued to play a leading role in the microfinance programme for nearly two decades

now. They have joined hands proactively with informal delivery channels to give microfinance

sector the necessary momentum. During the current year too, microfinance has registered an

impressive expansion at the grass root level.

NABARD has been instrumental in facilitating various activities under microfinance

sector, involving all possible partners at the ground level in the field. NABARD has been

encouraging voluntary agencies, bankers, socially spirited individuals, other formal and informal

entities and also government functionaries to promote and nurture SHGs. The focus in this

direction has been on training and capacity building of partners, promotional grant assistance to

Self Help Promoting Institutions (SHPIs), Revolving Fund Assistance (RFA) to MFIs, equity/

capital support to MFIs to supplement their financial resources and provision of 100 per cent

refinance against bank loans provided by various banks for microfinance activities.

2.2 MODELS OF MICROFINANCE

i. SHG - Bank Linkage Model: This model involves the SHGs financed directly by the

banks viz., CBs (Public Sector and Private Sector), RRBs and Cooperative Banks.

ii. MFI - Bank Linkage Model: This model covers financing of Micro Finance Institutions

(MFIs) by banking agencies for on-lending to SHGs and other small borrowers.

iii. Joint Liability Model: this is a comparatively newer model. These are small groups of

about 5 members and many such groups come together at the centre level.

iv. Lending to the individual by the banks or MFIs: in this the MFIs or the banks give loan to

the individuals who are then themselves responsible for the repayment of the loans.

2.3 MICROFINANCE IN TAMILNADU

Micro credit programs are successfully implemented in many countries. The principles

and procedures behind micro-credit are simple, but the system is widely effective. Small

business loans are provided to people who are not able to get loans from other institutions

because they have no credit history and the interest rates are enormous (regular interest rates in

Tamil Nadu on loans range from 36% to 120% from banks and private money lenders). Small

business loans are provided to groups of people (Self Help Groups) who trust each other and are

together responsible for the loan. By starting up small businesses with loans people are in charge

of their own future independent of the goodwill of others. Micro credit loans allow people the

opportunity and dignity to create a sustainable income for themselves. Besides that, loans

prepare the borrower also for the commercial world should their enterprise get big enough for the

formal business sector. The increase in income has a positive effect on the whole family, or even

the community. When the loan is repaid in full, people can look forward to a better overall and

financial future, while the returned funds can now provide the same opportunity and benefits to

another family. AID INDIA’s micro credit system is based on the principles of the famous

Grameen Bank (Bangladesh) micro credit system. We modified the micro credit program taking

into account the situations and laws of Tamil Nadu in the implementation of this program.

The District Central Cooperative Banks and Urban Cooperative Banks are implementing

this unique scheme to benefit marginalized small and petty merchants and street vendors

engaged in the business of selling flowers, vegetables, fruits and running petty shops. They are

the most vulnerable group for exploitation by usurious money lenders. Their credit requirements

are very small but critical. This scheme which was launched by this Government has been

amplified and streamlined over the years. Under the scheme the loan amount up to Rs.5000/- is

being provided without any security.

Madura Micro Finance Limited (MMFL) whose core business is providing financial

products i.e. credit, to the rural customer is poised for rapid growth in the next three years. A

clear strategy and the necessary systems have been put in place to propel the company to greater

heights. The primary customer for MMFL is women and together with self-help groups (SHG’s)

the company expects to touch a figure of 1.5 million members from the current 400,000 in the

next three years. MMFL is focused only in Tamilnadu and hopes to reach 20% of the rural

households in Tamilnadu.

Grama Vidiyal Micro Finance Ltd (GVMFL), the largest microfinance institution in

Tamil Nadu, will go for its second round of equity funding of about Rs 50 crore shortly.

GVMFL, which started off as an NGO trust to address the issues of poverty and women’s

empowerment, converted itself into an NBFC (non-banking financial company). Its loans to self-

help group (SHG) members are typically for six months to one year and range from Rs 1,000 to

Rs 7,000 a member in the first instance. Once their track record of regular repayment is

established, members become eligible to draw higher amounts.

In Tamilnadu microcredit is given to individuals but it mainly focused women

empowerment. There are so many microcredit/microfinance institutions in Tamilnadu is to help

raise the socio-economic status of women and children belonging to the weaker sections of

society and thus enabling them to become productive members of society. New Life, through its

community owned association structures known as Affinity Association of Self Help Groups

(AASHG), plays an active role in promoting and providing micro-credit. The AASHGs are

community based groups comprised of women leaders that manage the credit needs of the

individuals within that community. Community based affinity associations are one of the most

effective way in channeling the loans to the borrowers. The AASHGs are responsible for

gathering and validating the credit needs of the borrowers, and then New Life through its partner

organization seeks to fulfill these Credit needs.

2.4 MICRO-CREDIT BENEFITS THE POOR

There is clear evidence that MF benefits the poor by providing them savings

opportunities and credit. Barrowers often increase their incomes and improve their livelihood

because of micro-credit. The employment impact is, however more limited. MF leads to changes

in the use of technology only of the less poor as adoption of new technology is risky and the

poorer borrowers are more risk averse. The poor also benefit from mF a sense of involvement

and dignity. Where wide gender disparities abound, MF catering to women raises their sense of

participation and increases their empowerment. There is however little evidence that MF

succeeds in transforming a community from poverty to prosperity.

An economically poor individual gains strength as part of a group. Besides, financing

through SHGs reduces transaction costs for both lenders and borrowers. While lenders have to

handle only a single SHG account instead of a large number of small-sized individual accounts,

borrowers as part of a SHG cut down expenses on travel (to & from the branch and other places)

for completing paper work and on the loss of workdays in canvassing for loans.

2.5 SCOPE OF MICRO FINANCE

Micro finance usually refers to investments with more opportunity for high profits, and

also more risk: options, futures, currency trading, penny stocks, etc. Profits can be in the double

digit percentages per day! But so can losses, if you're not careful. Other short-term investments,

like money market funds, can be very conservative and designed to earn a little while keeping

your money safe in anticipation of some upcoming need, such as a down payment for a house in

a few weeks or months. Microfinance is a broad category of services, which includes

microcredit. Microcredit is provision of credit services to poor clients. Although microcredit is

one of the aspects of microfinance, conflation of the two terms is endemic in public discourse.

Critics often attack microcredit while referring to it indiscriminately as either 'microcredit' or

'microfinance'.

The sources of Micro financing include trade credit, bank loans, bankers acceptances,

finance company loans, commercial paper, receivable financing, and inventory financing. One

particular source may be more appropriate than another in a given circumstance; some are more

desirable than others because of interest rates or collateral requirements. Note: Banker`s`

acceptances is a time draft payable on a specified date and guaranteed by the bank.

2.6 SELF-HELP GROUPS AND MICRO-FINANCE

There is a welcome recognition in the Finance Minister's speech of the role MFIs have

played in catering to the credit needs of the poorer sections of rural society. This is a function

mainline bank in India and most other countries have been unable to do on their own. Since

February 2000 when the Reserve Bank of India gave priority sector status to loans provided by

banks to the MFIs, the activity has been mainstream. Experience of operating a micro-credit

model pioneered by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD)

during 1991-92 has shown that establishing a linkage between an SHG and a bank is the best

method for bringing SHGs into the ambit of formal banking especially because it infuses a

degree of professionalism into the services offered to the rural poor.

The budget has ambitious plans to extend the target of credit linking for 2005-06 from

200,000 self-help groups to 250,000. The Government hopes to enhance the beneficial role of the

MFIs as an intermediary between banks and rural borrowers. Commercial banks will be allowed

to appoint MFIs as their "banking correspondents" for providing a variety of services on their

behalf. That will vastly increase their reach and remove some of the intractable rigidities that

have stood in the way of the spread of rural banking. Close to 70 per cent of the rural poor do not

have a bank account and 87 per cent do not have access to credit from a formal source. The

proposal to appoint MFIs as agents for micro-insurance products will help spread the insurance

habit and enable them to earn a fee income. Another significant proposal is to let the eligible

MFIs seek equity support from the redesignated Micro Finance Development and Equity Fund,

which has a corpus of Rs. 200 crore.

Originally confined to the southern States, micro-finance is fast spreading to the rest of

India. For the banking system, the SHG linkage has been a winning proposition. It has resulted in

lower transaction costs, negligible defaults, and the generation of enormous goodwill. The MFIs

have been adept at providing customized solutions based on their understanding of local

conditions. However, a number of weaknesses remain. Banks have not yet standardized their

approach towards micro-lending. A lack of infrastructure and design facilities and also

worthwhile distribution channels for marketing the products has constrained growth. A number

of initiatives are needed to keep the micro-finance system on track. The goal is to make it a

dispenser not just of credit but of a variety of social goods and services to the rural poor.

2.7 MICRO-FINANCE AND ITS OBJECTIVES

The concept of microfinance is not new. Savings and credits groups that have operated

for centuries include the “susus” of Ghana, “chit funds” in India, “tandas” in Mexico, and

“pasanaku” in Bolivia, as well as numerous savings clubs and burial societies found all over the

world. One of the earlier and longer lived microcredit organizations was the Irish loan fund

system, initiated in the early 1700s. The term micro-finance is commonly used in addressing

issues related to poverty alleviation, financial support to micro-entrepreneurs and gender

development etc. Micro- finance can be defined as “provision of thrift, credit and other financial

services and products of very small amounts to the poor in rural, semi- urban or urban areas for

enabling them to raise their income levels and improve living standards “.

The term micro-finance sometimes is used interchangeably with the term micro-credit.

However, while micro-credit refers to purveyance of loans in small quantities, the term micro

finance has a broader meaning covering in its ambit other financial services like saving,

insurance etc.

The main benefits of micro-finance appear to be reduced vulnerability of the poor to

adverse circumstances, increased consumption in the same group and empowerment of women.

Fortunately, micro-finance practice in India like some other countries has much to offer to the

rural population. These include poverty alleviation, livelihood promotion, developing the local

economy, gender empowerment, building organizations and changing wider systems and

institutions within society.

2.8 DEVELOPMENT OF SHGS

Self Help Groups are considered as one of the most significant tools to adopt

participatory approach for the economic empowerment of women. It is an important institution

for improving the life of women on various social and economic components. The basic

objective of an SHG is that it acts as the forum for members to provide space and support to each

other and get financial sustainability through adopting micro-enterprises based on availability of

resources, prevalent skill and availability of markets for sale of products. Group entrepreneurship

is ideal for weaker sections of the society and it is an instrument which helps the poor women to

overcome their poverty. It gives employment opportunities for illiterates.

2.9 FORMATION OF SELF HELP GROUPS

An SHG both by definition and in practice is a group of individual members who by free

association come together for a common collective purpose. In practice SHG comprise

individual members known to each other coming from the same village, community and even

marketing neighborhood. That is they are homogeneous and have certain pre group social

binding factors. In the context of micro-finance, SHG are formed around the theme of savings

and credit.

Self-Help Groups don't start with credit; they start as savers groups, with regular weekly

for forthrightly saving targets. Each number of the group has to save a small amount per month.

The savings are deposited in a meeting on an appointed time every week, and the collected

saving are lent to members, with the decision on who gets the loan being taken by the group; in

many groups saving are entered in individual passbooks. Some groups pay interest on saving,

others pay dividends; but most have retained their earnings as part of their capital. An account is

opened with a mainline bank to deposit any surplus savings. After some six months, the bank

where the savings were deposited examines the performance of the group and issues loans to the

group. The SHG in turn increases its capacity to manage high amount of finance, develop

entrepreneurial and communication skills and logical ability, cooperative sense and finally

income and employment generating confidence.

The main objective of SHGs is to inculcate the habit of thrift, savings and banking

culture to gain economic prosperity through credit. The most important component of SHG is the

mobilization and organization of women towards the basic strength of solidarity, informality and

collective action. Self Help Group methodology is a novel approach in development of

economics. These groups can create a unique, alternative, need-based credit delivery mechanism

by pooling their insufficient resources for catering to their consumption and occupational

requirement.

3.0 CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD SELF HELP GROUP

Well-functioning SHG should have following structural features:

An ideal SHG comprises 15-20 members.

All the members should belong to the same socio-economic strata of society specifically

poor.

Group should have strong bond of affinity.

Rotational leadership should be encouraged for distribution of power and to provide

leadership opportunities to all the members.

Members should attend meetings, save and participate in all activities voluntarily.

To provide gainful employment and to involve the poor in productive activities.

An SHG should be socially viable institution.

The procedure of decision-making in SHG should be democratic in nature.

It should be non-partisan in nature.

The group is frames rules and regulations which are required for its effective functioning.

To involve women in decision making and to promote leadership qualities among them.
