ROLE OF MICROFINANCE FOR RURAL WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SHGS

Abstract

The problem of women working in unorganized sectors in India has gotten worse since the early 1990s when liberalization and globalization emerged, as the majority of women who were involved in various forms of self-employment have lost their jobs. Even though women make significant contributions to the domestic and national economies, their labor is still unpaid and seen as only an extension of the home sphere. Self Help Groups (SHGs) dominate the microfinance landscape in India as a means of empowering the \"Unreached Poor\" by increasing their collective self-help capabilities and offering financial services to them. The quick development of SHGs has now evolved into a nationwide movement for women\'s empowerment. To combat exploitation and build the rural poor\'s confidence for economic independence, microfinance is essential, especially for rural women. They are not a \"magic bullet,\" but they have the potential to make a big difference in women\'s empowerment and gender equality. These programs have the potential to start a number of \"virtuous spirals\" of economic empowerment as well as broader social and political empowerment by helping women earn a living. These self-help groups\' (SHGs\') encouraging outcomes have drawn a lot of attention because they are demonstrating that they are a successful strategy for reducing poverty and empowering people economically. This research seeks to highlight the significance of SHGs and microfinance in the empowerment of women in India, primarily based on secondary data analysis.

UTILIZATION PATTERN OF PM-KISAN AND RYTHU BHAROSA SCHEMES\' AMOUNT AMONG MARGINAL AND SMALL PADDY FARMERS

Abstract

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) is a central sector scheme launched by the Government of India to provide income support to all landholding farmer families across the country, with a financial benefit of Rs. 6,000 per year in three equal installments . The Rythu Bharosa scheme (now renamed as Annadata Sukhibhava scheme) in Andhra Pradesh provides annual financial assistance of ₹13,500 to eligible farmer families, supplementing the PM-KISAN scheme, to support agricultural activities and improve livelihoods. The study examines the utilization patterns of the PM-KISAN scheme funds among marginal and small farmers in the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. The analysis reveals that a significant proportion of farmers use the funds for land preparation, seed purchases, and harvesting support. However, the utilization for purchasing fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation purposes is relatively low. The study suggests that building on the scheme\'s successes, efforts should be made to replicate these outcomes in other areas, and capacity-building programs for farmers should be invested in.

DHOKRA ART OF TELANGANA: A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Abstract

Dhokra metal casting is an ancient Indian craft with roots tracing back over 4,000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization. This unique art form, primarily practiced by tribal artisans in Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal, employs the intricate lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), resulting in distinctive handcrafted brass and bronze artifacts. Dhokra sculptures often depict deities, animals, and tribal motifs, reflecting deep cultural and spiritual significance. Despite its artistic value, this craft faces challenges such as high raw material costs, market competition, and declining patronage. However, initiatives like government support, artisan cooperatives, and global appreciation of sustainable handicrafts have contributed to its revival. With increasing demand for eco-friendly and handmade products, Dhokra art holds great potential for continued growth. By integrating modern innovations while preserving its traditional essence, this timeless craft can sustain its legacy and provide economic empowerment to indigenous artisans.

RESTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION FACILITIES IN HYDERABAD STATE

Abstract

On the samasthans themselves oft cited by scholars is the brief introduction to the largest samasthans by K. Krishnaswamy Mudiraj. Mudiraj compiled his voluminous Pictorial Hyderabad in the late 1920s and early 1930s, a time when many of the samasthans enjoyed strong leadership. Thus, his account of their administration (as well as accounts of the Nizams ruling at the time), is generous in its portrayal of the samasthan families. In addition, from the early decades of the twentieth century, several Telugu works follow a similar pattern of flattery. For instance, specific to the Jatprole samasthan, V. Sadasiva Sastrulu’s Sri Surabhivari Vamsa Charitramu, published in 1913, is accordingly generous in its portrayal of then Raja Lakshma Rao.
