rural economy:> 27 May, 2008, 0958 hrs IST, PTI> > GUWAHATI: Assam's rural
economy is undergoing a silent revolution with more than 85,000 Self-Help
Groups (SHG) playing the role of a vital catalyst. > > Chief Minister Tarun
Gogoi said that already 85,000 SHGs have been set up throughout the state
generating considerable level of self-employment but there was, however, scope
for more such SHGs. > > ''The spark of a silent revolution has already been
ignited by mobilising a sizeable section of the rural populace and motivating
them to march on the road to economic emancipation through capacity-building
measures and setting up of SHGs'', he said. > > The primary aim of setting up
SHGs was to address the problem of rural employment which had led to
disillusionment among the youths who took the path of militancy but now even
educated unemployed rural youth and women are equipping themselves to take up
income generating activities by organising themselves into SHGs, Gogoi said. >
> The major areas in which SHGs have been formed are agriculture, pisciculture,
handloom, poultry, and dairy. Over 25 per cent of the SHG members earn in the
range of Rs 2000 to Rs 3000 per cent while 18 per cent earn an average of Rs
5000 per month and another 18 per cent earn less than RS 2000 per month. > >
