An economically poor individual gains strength as part of a group.Besides, financing through SHGs reduces transaction costs for both lenders and borrowers.Lenders have to handle only a single SHG account instead of a large number of small-sized individual accounts. borrowers as part of an SHG cut down expenses on travel (to & from the branch and other places) for completing paper work and on the loss of workdays in canvassing for loans.
