SELF HELP GROUPS

A campaign was initiated at Sirsa by Dr. Yudhbir Singh for formation of Self Help Groups under “Swarnjayanti Gram Savrojgar Yojna” of Ministry of Rural Development in the year 2007. 

A number of Orientation Programs and Workshops were conducted in which members of BPL families from villages were invited to make them aware & to motivate them to form self help groups.  

Dr. Yudhbir Singh motivated more than 10, 000 women from villages and as a result, around 780 Self Help Groups were formed during his tenure. Out of these 780, more than 600 self help groups are mainly of women. 

Not only this, he also motivated & encouraged bankers through meetings from time to time for hassle free linkages of self help groups with banks at the time of opening of account or evaluation (grading) for disbursement of loan to self help groups.
