Abstract: In pursuance of a recommendation made by the Asian and Pacific Regional Agricultural Credit Association (APRACA), the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, in collaboration with some of the other member-institutions of APRACA, undertook field studies of selected self-help group experiments for the benefit of the poor. These group initiatives related to various developmental activities including savings and credit to meet their needs: This consolidated report brings together the salient findings and the insights gained from the various case studies conducted by the Study Team constituted for the purpose. The report also discusses their implications and relevance for financial institutions and development agencies. [Study Report NABARD, 1989]
