7 Brief History of the Organisation
Introduction: Since from the last fifty years India has been trying hard
to alleviate the poverty among the common masses and rural poor, but still it
persists with and growing with a alarming length and speed. Though, there
was a development in some sectors of the economy but a major section of the
population still lives in below poverty line, which is quite unacceptable. It is
quite evident from the development experience of the Indian economy in last
fifty years that the benefits of the economic reforms or government measures
have not reached to the poorer sections of the population, which is widely
anticipated. Since mid 70’s Government has launched many programmes like,
self and wage employment programmes, to make a direct attack on poverty.
For the poorest of poor, special schemes were devised such as Antodaya,

3. differential interest rate lending and the like. But unfortunately, these did not
turn out to be as effective as one had hoped.
As studies have shown, a major reason for the lackluster results of these
Government programmes has been the failure to involve the local community
in design, implementation and monitoring. This is aggravated by the fact that
such schemes invariably have a preset design rigidly applicable to the whole
country. These apart, the poor had virtually no access to credit from either
the banking or cooperative system. What was needed was a system which
could be accommodated within the existing village environment, had the
autonomy to take quick operational decisions and cater for the individual
needs of the poor. It was in response to this need that the Self Help Groups, or
as the Affinity Groups came into existence, mainly promoted by NGO’s. These
are groups held together by shared needs or interests and traditional social
relations. In this regard, “SADHANA”, Sindhanur has been a pioneer and has
successfully promoted a large number of affinity groups in Sindhanur Taluka
of Raichur District.
