Explore the critical Financial Sustainability of Micro Financing in developing economies, with a focus on India and the North East. This book offers in-depth analysis of Self Help Groups (SHGs) and the vital SHG-Bank Linkage Programme (SBLP) launched by NABARD. Using primary data from Meghalaya, a state with significant rural and poverty-stricken populations, the research identifies key sustainability variables for SHGs, banks, and the SBLP itself. It introduces a unique index to measure overall program sustainability. Crucially, this work provides rare insights into grassroots organizations like SHGs, particularly within the North East region, detailing their financial health and long-term viability. A must-read for academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in the effectiveness and enduring impact of microfinance initiatives.
