Deepalaya collaborated with NABARD since 2009 for formation of SHGs and promoting self-reliance by encouraging women to save and form microenterprises. Since then the project has expanded to five different areas in Mewat. Our SHG team has been conducting different kind of trainings for women from time to time. Such training sessions are done in the presence of bank officials so that they get to know new schemes etc. A similar training was conducted on 5th December in the presence of Mr. N M Sinha, District General Manager (DGM), NABARD, Mr. Vijay Kumar Nagra, District Development Manager (DDM), NABARD at our Pataudi office. Approximately 40 SHG members from 8 SHGs of different villages participated in this meeting and got a chance to interact with the representatives from NABARD.
