The Minister said that in the last 10 years, the SHGs had not been given the due importance they should have been given.
With the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) back in power, the self-help-groups (SHG) in Tamil Nadu will be revived, said Tamil Nadu Rural Development Minister K.R. Periakaruppan here on Saturday. Speaking to reporters after presiding over a review meeting, attended by senior officials from the government including Hans Raj Verma, K.S. Palanisamy, P. Jothi Nirmalasami and District Collector P. Madhusudhan Reddy, he said that the Chief Minister M.K. Stalin believed in women empowerment. The SHG concept, which was conceptualised by late M. Karunanidhi, had not only empowered the womenfolk, especially, in rural pockets, but also given them a new meaning to economic well-being.More Related News
