Assam Self-Help Group (NRLM) Registration Online
Recently, self-help groups (SHGs) have become important vehicles for community empowerment especially in the rural and disadvantaged areas. The NREGA has promoted these organisations in Assam leading to enhancement of their living standards.
In addition to that, due to digitalisation, it is easier to register a SHG under NRLM scheme today. This article will highlight how one can register an SHG online in Assam with all the necessary steps and information needed to ease out your application process.
Self-Help Groups and NRLM
Self-Help Groups are small, informal associations of individuals who come together to achieve common goals, often revolving around saving and credit.
The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NRLM) is an initiative by the Ministry of Rural Development which aims at enhancing livelihood security among rural poor by providing employment opportunities for 100 days in a financial year to each adult member of every rural household that volunteers for non-skilled manual labor.
Under NRLM, SHGs are pivotal in enhancing sustainable livelihoods and promoting community development.
