Micro-finance and self-employment initiatives under SGSY: a review of intentions and realities - 2007 - p.387-93. - Jan-Mar

It was found that the glaring flaws impeding success are the lack of co-ordination amongst field level agencies, the indifferent quality of the groups formed and arbitrary selection of economic activities. - Reproduced.
