Mao (Senapati), October 20 2015:
In a bid to encourage Self-Help Groups in community building, Senapati Deputy Commissioner Jacintha Lazarus visited the Dziilimosiia Self-Help Group (SHG) Federation & EDA NaRMG Association at Rabunamei village, Song Song Sub-Division, reports our correspondent.
The DC was accompanied by Song Song SDO A Adahrii Maheo and IFAD/SEDCORMS Project Manager Razing Bellai.
Interacting with the members of the groups, the DC encouraged the members to cope with the new changing social set up so as to grow successfully in the market.
She said, "We should control the market instead of letting the market control us" .
The DC also suggested on the possibility of linking the activities of the Self-Help Groups with Government departments.
At the occasion, one of the largest and prominent micro-financing NGOs ACCORDS led by Sing Jerome also gave away a cheque of Rs 10 lakh as part of the micro financing loan to 10 SHG federations.
