Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to lend helping hand to Self Help Groups members

Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) plans to prepare the profiles of the women members of the Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in Greater Hyderabad. Stating that that there are around 45,000 SHGs in city, the corporation sees the necessity of preparing family profiles of women members of SHGs, which will help them develop economically and socially.

The GHMC officials will gather details about SHG member's health, education, employment and family details within a month.

Around 8,000 women members of SHGs were inactive and we should make them re-active," said GHMC Commissioner Dana Kishore.
