Abstract
Self Help Groups (SHGs) have become a common vehicle of development process, converging all development programmes. SHG–Bank Linkage Programme was launched by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) way back in 1992, envisaging synthesis of formal financial system and informal sector. Since then it has become a movement throughout the country, and is considered as the largest microfinance programme in terms of outreach in the world. At present, a large number of Self-Help Group Promoting Institutions (SHPI’s), and all the banking agencies and MFIs, are pursuing this programme for the upliftment of the poor. It is also recognised as a part of priority sector lending and normal banking business by Reserve Bank of India. Thus, it is synonymous with microfinance programme of the country. It is also the main contributor towards the financial inclusion and inclusive growth process in the country. In view of the large outreach and pre-dominant position of this microfinance programme, it is very important to examine the status of Self Help Groups programmes in Rajasthan State of India and also make some strategies for promoting and strengthening of SHGs for Inclusive Growth
