What is the advantage of joining a SHG?
Social experts have likened the SHG to an obedient son, a mother or to a temple/mosque/church/gurdwara. Experience says that a son can cheat his mother but an ideal son-like SHG will never cheat its mother-like members. Never will a SHG mother beg on the streets. The SHG is likened to the mother because a mother listens to her childrens problems and solves them. Similarly, a SHG too listens to its members problems and helps solve them. A SHG is likened to a temple/mosque/church/gurdwara, because people think of allah, parmatma, vaheguru and god when they go to these places of worship. In a SHG too, proceedings begin wit a prayer. A SHG is a tool of development which has the potential to bring prosperity to the family, the village and the entire nation.
