SELF HELP GROUP: A PATHWAY TOWARDS CREDIT & ECO NOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF WOMENIAEME Publication
n the present era SHG has evolved as one of the tool to get credit facilities, savings and economic impowerment and it is also been considered as need-based programme for alleviation of poverty to the so far neglected target groups (women, poor, deprived etc.) The experience across India and other countries has shown a robust potential of Self help groups to integrate with the development issues thereby significantly impacting the lives of poor

BUILDING – SAATHI PROJECT. Sukarya started the SAATHI project in January, 2008 with support of Charities Aid Foundation India (CAF) and Godfrey Phillips India Limited (GPI). The project aims to empower rural women through the formation of Self Help Groups and entrepreneurship building. Apart from efforts aimed at guiding savings and inter-loaning within the group, the members are being imparted vocational skills in locally marketable trade and practices based on their interest, aptitude and capabilities. The idea behind the effort is to help women earn and contribute towards their own and the well-being of their families and community at large. The focus of Sukarya in all its effort has been to reach out to the marginalized and underserved sections of poor women who have been left out of the development process. The activities are thus meant for those, who have had little education and access to health services or economic and political resources and thereby are the most constrained. To reach out to this un-reached section has been our biggest challenge.
BESIDES the cooperatives and other forms of organisations, there is yet another form of enterprise which is organised voluntarily by the members themselves to meet a variety of their needs. The Self-Help Groups [SHGs] are such organisations which are formed, nourished and managed by the members themselves.
The SHGs, people’s voluntary and informal institutions, are organised as viable alternative to achieve the objectives of rural development and to get community participation in rural development programmes. These are similar to traditional group activities in all communities. It is a new form of a movement which aims at reducing the incidence of poverty through the provision of easy credit. In case of self-movement, thrift and credit are the entry points of activity. Micro-finance or provision of financial services to low-income households, have come to be accepted in policy implementation as the most efficacious intervention to alleviate poverty, enhancing agricultural production and developing local leadership.
A Self-Help Group is an informal organisation of not less than 10 and not more than 20 people from the poorer section of the village society, organised, owned, operated and controlled by the members in a democratic manner, based on solidarity, reciprocity, common interest and resource pooling. Self-Help Group is a social design in which people participate by making themselves socially and economically accountable to each other. All SHGs are not necessarily linked to lead/focal bank because they do not need external credit except the support from their sponsoring organisations.
SHGs have been promoted under various programmes and by various development agencies. It has been found that SHGs can serve the needs of the small farmers better than the cooperatives. It is believed that Self-Help Groups are a sub-system of cooperatives.

Experience of interning with an NGO in IndiaPitanjal Datta
I had interned with Toolbox India Foundation, an NGO based in Mumbai,India. It was an enlightening professional experience something from which you can takeaway a lot from, for your professional career. This report would highlight the realities of NGOs, work I had undertaken, challenges and how we solved them.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the voluntary efforts undertaken by businesses to address social and environmental issues in their operations and within the communities in which they operate. These efforts can include initiatives such as philanthropy, volunteerism, sustainable practices, and community engagement.
NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, play a critical role in promoting and implementing CSR activities. Many NGOs work to promote sustainable practices, protect human rights, and improve living conditions in communities around the world.
There are many NGOs that specialize in CSR, and the top ones will vary depending on the region, industry and focus area. Some examples of top NGO that focus on CSR are:
Nityango.org
Amnesty International
International Labour Organization
Save the Children
Greenpeace
World Wildlife Fund
The Nature Conservancy
CSR for NGO refers to the ways in which NGOs can work with businesses to promote and implement CSR activities. This can include partnerships, collaborations, or campaigns to raise awareness about social and environmental issues.
Some examples of CSR activities that NGO's and businesses can do together are:
Partnering on sustainable procurement practices
Implementing programs to empower communities through job creation and livelihood training
Collaborating to protect natural resources
Working together to ensure human rights are protected throughout supply chains
Corporations can support NGO's CSR efforts in various ways:
Monetary donations
Providing in-kind donations of goods or services
Employee volunteer opportunities
Supporting NGO programs and campaigns
Collaboration in community development initiatives
Overall, CSR is an important aspect of business operations, and NGOs play a critical role in promoting and implementing CSR activities. Businesses can support NGO's efforts by collaborating and contributing resources to make an impactful change.
CSR is increasingly embedded into business management processes as a strategic tool for risk mitigation and is emerging as a business tool seeking social alignment. Various social and environmental challenges drive business to invest in strategic CSR, which will work to engage stakeholders, mitigate risk and improve social visibility and brand equity.
• CSR is shifting from philanthropy to strategic business planning and management
• CSR is getting integrated into the “value chain” to make value addition by building sustainable supply chain
• Knowledge economy is changing the business case for decision-making

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
