Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are small, voluntary associations of people, generally belonging to similar socio-economic backgrounds, who come together to address their common problems through mutual help and collective action. In the context of agricultural development, SHGs play a crucial role in mobilizing rural poor, especially small and marginal farmers, landless laborers, and rural women, to improve their economic and social conditions. An SHG usually consists of 10 to 20 members who regularly save small amounts of money, create a common fund, and use this fund to provide loans to members for productive and emergency needs. The concept is based on the principles of self-reliance, mutual trust, democratic functioning, and collective decision-making. The basic idea behind SHGs is that even poor individuals have the capacity to save and manage financial resources when they act collectively. Individually, rural households often lack access to formal credit due to lack of collateral, low income, and limited financial literacy. By forming a group, they build social capital, enhance their bargaining power, and gain access to institutional credit through banks and other financial institutions. The SHG-Bank Linkage Programme in India, promoted by NABARD, is a significant example of how SHGs are integrated with the formal banking system to promote financial inclusion and agricultural development. The importance of SHGs in agricultural development is multifaceted. Firstly, SHGs promote savings and credit among rural households. Regular savings help inculcate financial discipline and create a sense of ownership among members. The internal lending system enables members to borrow at reasonable interest rates for agricultural activities such as purchase of seeds, fertilizers, livestock, irrigation equipment, and farm machinery. This reduces their dependence on moneylenders who often charge exorbitant interest rates. Secondly, SHGs facilitate access to institutional credit. After demonstrating good performance in savings and repayment, SHGs become eligible for loans from banks. These loans are often used for agricultural investments, micro-enterprises,
