Self-Help Groups
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.

CSR IN iNDIA
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India has traditionally been seen as philanthropic activities by corporations. The Companies Act of 2013 introduced the concept of CSR to the forefront and mandates transparency and disclosure of CSR activities. It defines CSR as activities related to education, healthcare, environment sustainability, and more. The Act also outlines requirements around budget allocation for CSR activities and management through a CSR committee. The Confederation of Indian Industry published a handbook to guide companies on developing CSR strategies and implementing effective programs aligned with the Companies Act.

Social Stock Exchange as a Pillar of Welfare and Development in the Indian Ec...
Indias finance minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, proposed the creation of Social Stock Exchange SSE in her 2019 20 budget speech. The SSE works like the BSE and NSE. Normal stock markets allow profit driven enterprises to offer their securities to attract profit seeking investors and raise capital. Similarly, SSE would allow social businesses to list their securities to attract philanthropic donors to finance their public welfare initiatives, such as boosting education and developing health care facilities. SEBI created the SEBI SSE Working Group in 2019 to recommend SSE operating procedures. Working Group report released in June 2020. In September 2020, SEBI established a Technical Group on SSE, which advanced the work of the SEBI SSE Working Group by recommending eligibility criteria for listing -‘social enterprises’ on SSE, the mechanism for listing social enterprises, the mechanism for auditing social enterprises, and the disclosure norms to be followed by social enterprises, etc. In India, SSE is a new concept. Not yet. In this paper, the author examines SSEs idea, necessity, operation mechanism, regulatory standards, the role of social businesses, operation of SSE in other countries, problems SSE may face, and ways to overcome these barriers so SSE can achieve its objective.

This document presents a literature review on corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of Indian companies. It discusses how CSR has traditionally been a voluntary activity in India but is now mandatory for large companies due to the Companies Act of 2013. The literature review analyzes several research papers that studied CSR activities and their impact in India. Key findings include that consumers have some knowledge of CSR but it varies, CSR can help companies operate sustainably and benefit stakeholders, and logistics companies can promote CSR through horizontal cooperation. The review suggests Indian companies need to further support society and that banks should get more involved in CSR through training employees. Overall, the review examines existing research on the evolving CSR landscape in India.
