Chief
Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced to increase subsidy
which is being given to self help groups in the state. Chouhan
said that state government is going to reduce rate of interest
on the amount given to self help groups, so that their income
would increase. Chief Minister at Bandhavgarh in Umaria was
addressing the self help groups during a public dedication
programme. This announcement of Chouhan is commendable, because
upliftment of women and poor becomes easier through the self-help
groups. The women of the state have registered better progress
in this direction. Financial prosperity could be brought among
poor with their efforts. But they should be given proper aid
from society and government. Chouhan also announced that decision
would be taken to give benefit to the women self help groups
in a meeting to be held on May 27 in Bhopal. Self help groups
would be given maximum employment oriented works. This announcement
is also commendable and welcome. In this connection it is
necessary that the groups should be given help on every front.
Self help groups should be encouraged. They should be provided
raw materials for preparing their products. Better training
is also necessary for qualitative products. All the departments
should help the self help groups so that the benefit of group
would reach up to members, families and up to equal financial
income groups. The aware people of the society, officials
and government teams should give encouragement to these groups.
Now the people trying to establish themselves on their own
would be benefited with the announcement of government.
