Projects of Jai Swachhta Samiti - SGSY

SWARN JAYANTI GRAM SAVROJGAR YOJNA

To eradicate poverty from villages and make their condition financially better, another project in association with DRDA, Sirsa was started in June, 2008 to form Self Help Groups (SHGs) under Swarnjayanti Gram Savrojgar Yojna (SGSY) of Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. Under SGSY, more than 750 Self Help Groups (SHGs) were formed by "Jai Swachhta Samiti" within nine months of starting the project. 

This campaign was also started in a planned manner. The people were made aware of this program and were motivated to become self dependent by way of forming Self Help Groups and by starting some income generating activities. 

Since the team of "Jai Swachhta Samiti" is also working for Women Empowerment, therefore, efforts were to form Self Help Groups that should comprise more of women and therefore targeted at first instance all those villages where women were more active during total sanitation campaign. Those women from villages were contacted and motivated to form SHGs.

The team of "Jai Swachhta Samiti" also imparted training to the members of SHGs under orientation program and assisted these SHGs to maintain proper records, to hold monthly meetings and bank linkages etc.
