Programme Will Be Held at Kushabhau Thakre Hall
February 7
Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan will distribute bank loans worth Rs 300 crore to the members of self-help groups formed under the State Rural Livelihood Mission on February 8. Along with this, self-help groups of some districts will also hold virtual dialogue with the members. In this virtual programme to be held at Kushabhau Thakre auditorium from 10:30 am, group members will connect through various virtual mediums at Gram Panchayat level in all the districts. Minister of State for Panchayat and Rural Development Shri Ramkhelawan Patel will also be present in the programme.
So far, financial assistance of Rs 2,762 crore has been provided in the form of bank loan to more than 40 lakh rural poor families in the state by connecting them with about 3 lakh 50 thousand self-help groups under Aajeevika Mission. The Panchayat and Rural Development Department has been benefitting the beneficiaries by organising virtual programmes continuously since the time of lockdown to strengthen the economic condition of rural families during the corona period. By receiving the amount, the group members will increase their income by further strengthening their present livelihood, which will open the doors of their prosperity and their economic and social status will be better than before.
It is noteworthy that in the mission, social and economic empowerment of women members of poor families living in rural areas is being done by connecting them with self-help groups. With a view to simplify the banking service process by the state government, the availability of adequate bank credit for self-help groups has been made easy by establishing wide coordination with banks.
Intensive monitoring and transparent process has been made with the submission of bank loan cases through the software of Self-Help Groups. Bank Sakhiyas have also been identified by the Mission to make banking services accessible, who are cooperating with group members in banking work in rural areas.
