Self help groups have involved overtime all over the world, and the journey has been at several levels from labor/unkind/pre-monetary currency to cash from non-financial to financial groups; from short living to semi-permanent, or supposedly permanent group; and from saving-only to savings driven credit groups. Self-help groups have emerged as the appropriate people’s institution. It is not a static body, and rather it grows in its resources and management skills of its members. Their increasing confidence has motivated them for enhanced involvement in public spheres and has helped them to undertake common action programmes. In recent years, they have emerged as a major strategy for the promotion of informal credit to the poor. The present study is made as attempt to identify the perception of members towards the self-help groups.
