SHGs have opened accounts in The Thane District Central Co-op. Bank ltd. Vasai Road and they deposit their savings in the banks. Few of them have taken loans and started self employment activities. SJAS has provided guidance to them in this regard during the SHG meetings.

Besides the above, we promoted few more new groups in this area. We provided formation inputs to these new groups. SHG concept, Rules and regulations, roles and responsibilities of the members and representatives in the group, how to conduct SHG meetings, functions of SHG, Vision building, setting goals and objectives etc. were the inputs provided to the news SHGs as part of the formation.
