स्वयं-सहायता समूहों में जाति आधारित मतभेद: ग्रामीण आजीविका कार्यक्रम से साक्ष्य

राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण आजीविका मिशन (एनआरएलएम) का उद्देश्य ग्रामीण परिवारों की आय में वृद्धि करना और उनके कल्याण में सुधार लाना है। इस लेख में, भारत में नौ राज्यों के सर्वेक्षण डेटा का उपयोग करते हुए, एनआरएलएम कार्यक्रम के भीतर स्वयं-सहायता समूहों में व्याप्त जाति-आधारित मतभेदों के अस्तित्व का विश्लेषण किया गया है। यह पाया गया कि वंचित समूहों के सदस्यों की भी समान रूप से पदाधिकारी के रूप में चुने जाने की संभावना है। नेतृत्ववाले पदों में वंचित समूहों के प्रतिनिधित्व से वंचित समूह के सदस्यों के बीच भागीदारी, लाभों तक पहुंच और अन्य संबंधित परिणामों में वृद्धि होती है।

Caste-based differences in self-help groups: Evidence from a rural livelihood programme

The National Rural Livelihood Mission aims to increase income and improve wellbeing for rural households. Using survey data from nine states in India, this article analyses the existence of caste-based differences in self-help groups within the NRLM programme. It finds that members of disadvantaged groups are equally likely to be elected as an office bearer. Further representation of disadvantaged groups in leadership positions increases participation, access to benefits and other related outcomes amongst members from the disadvantaged group.
