Community Volunteer | Income Generation Activities | SHG-Bank Linkages | Poverty Alleviation

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 03, 2009 – RGMVP believes that the poor have the innate ability to come out of poverty; they must be provided an opportunity and an enabling environment. They require sensitive support – not subsidy but multiple doses of credit as and when needed. Facilitating access to microfinance through SHG-bank linkages is then the most critical aspect of the Microfinance Facilitation programme. This process has been streamlined and refined under the programme to ensure that all organised women have been linked to banks/microfinance with the SHG as the medium.

RGMVP works in an area of Uttar Pradesh that has some of the lowest Human Development Indices in the country. There is lack of health education, prevalence of chronic diseases like tuberculosis, diarrhoea, etc, and reproductive health problems such as high-risk pregnancies, RTI/STD, non-institutional deliveries, anaemia, maternal and infant mortality, and malnutrition. Women have limited or no access to basic healthcare facilities and are often compelled to depend on unscientific treatment.
