Abstract

Financing under Self Helf Groups (SHGs) scheme is based on the concept of Microfinance which is a term for the practice of providing financial services such as microcredit, micro savings and micro insurance to the rural poor. As this program is going on for the last many years, the present study has been carried out keeping in view the objectives that what is the impact of Microfinance on living standards, empowerment of women and poverty alleviation in the Kaithal district of Haryana. . It has been found that there has been considerable increase in the income, savings and economic assets of the beneficiaries after joining the scheme. The increase in income and savings has raised the standard of living of the members. It has also resulted in increasing their confidence and has helped in social justice and empowerment of women.Microfinance can be a success story if we adopt healthy practices adopted by Gramin bank of Bangladesh such as five members in SHGs. It is sad to observe that our approach in micro financing is ‘target oriented’ in terms of expenditure allocations which is required to be made ‘result oriented’. There is a scope of monitoring and evaluation by academicians rather than professionals and officials to make it unbiased. To ensure inclusive growth which means including the excluded segments, caring the less cared and using the less used manpower, we need to control corruption, population and inflation. There is a strong case for monitoring and evaluation with good governance (SMART administration), manpower planning and inflation targeting for achieving the better results in making microfinance under SHGs a success story in India. Key words: SHG ,Good Governace as SMART administration
