520 _aThis paper examines the rise of the Self – Help Groups under the National Rural Health Mission and their contribution to social inclusion. The expansion has gone beyond just southern India, where these women’s collectives have played a very instrumental role in poverty reduction. The expansion and consolidation of the women’s collectives under the Rural Livelihood Mission affords an opportunity to provide timely credit for economic activity to vulnerable social groups and deprived households. This has the potential of providing an opportunity for an inclusive India through rural enterprises with size and scale. The paper goes on to look at the challenges that are coming in the way, in spite of an expansion of credit support to these groups on an unprecedented scale. The challenge of working capital and higher order economic activities on scale has been examined from a perspective of resolving the challenges within the framework of formal Banking. – Reproduced
