Woman Self Help groups in Adivasi areas need more hand holding to grow...
Bhan Sahu is visiting Gond para in Kamthi village in Pandaria block of Kabirdham district in Chhattisgarh where she meets members of Jai Ma Laxmi women self help group. They tell her the SHG was formed 15 years ago but they have not done much apart from depositing some amount monthly in the bank. They have no idea why the group was formed and what they can do with its help for their development. She says people from administration and others working on the field should give more support to such SHGs.
