Self-help groups (SHGs) were introduced in India to promote women's empowerment and self-sufficiency. SHGs are small community-based organizations composed of 10-20 rural poor women who voluntarily save small amounts of money together. They use their pooled savings to provide interest-free loans to members for purposes such as meeting emergency needs or starting small businesses. The objectives of SHGs are to provide women with a platform, job training, decision making skills, access to collateral-free loans, and increased confidence. Today, SHGs have become one of the largest microfinance programs in the world, helping to alleviate poverty and empower rural women economically and socially.

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.
Despite decades of planned development and poverty eradication programs at the national and state levels, poverty continues to persist in India. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) has been a subject of lively debate, which aims at the ‘right to work’ enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household who volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act was approved by the Indian Parliament in September 2005. It was renamed as ‘Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act’ on 2-10-2009. This Act started functioning from 2nd Feb.2006. Initially it was introduced in 200 districts of the country and later extended to all districts in the country. The main aim of this Act is to enhance the purchasing power of rural people. World Development Report 2014 termed it a "stellar example of rural development" and noted economist Amartya Sen also said it is a good Scheme for employment generation in rural areas, but it has to be reformed. This Paper is an attempt to present a review of the “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act - With Special Reference to Telangana State.
Self Help Group (SHG) Movement in India has been recognized as an effective strategy for mobilization and empowerment of rural people, particularly poor women and other marginalized groups.

Prof. Vibhuti Patel on Women's leadership in MicrofinanceVIBHUTI PATEL
Nineties was a difficult decade for both the urban and rural poor women as women were rapidly losing their livelihood base due to structural adjustment programmes and macro economic stabilization policies. Reduction in budgetary allocation for social sector (privatization of education and health as well as dismantling of public distribution system) and privatization of essential survival needs made lives of poor women unbearable. Draught in several parts of India and liberalization of agrarian market added fuel to fire with increasing numbers of farmers’ suicides and starvation deaths. It was in this backdrop, that women’s leadership in microfinance thro’ Self Help Groups (SHGs) came to the fore to provide safety net to the poorest of the poor women initially in the four Southern States- Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamilnadu and during the 21st century all over the country.
The UN Commission on Status of Women in 2007 advised the leaders of the member countries to fully maximize the role of, as well as ensure access to, microfinance tools, including microcredit for poverty eradication, generation of employment and especially for the empowerment of women, encourage the strengthening of existing and emerging microcredit institutions and their capacities, including through the support of international financial institutions, and ensure that best practices are widely disseminated. Microfinance is perceived as an effective strategy to reach the Millennium Development Goals.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
