Almost 30% of our population live below the poverty line. Poverty certainly means a deprivation of the basic needs for survival: nutrition, clothing, housing, medical care, education, information, and work. But it also means lack of access to financial and technical resources as well as severe limitations on participation in social and political life, in decision-making processes. More than two thirds of the Indian population lives in rural areas where poverty tends to be endemic. Acting in its sphere of influence, SHARE (NGO) particularly aims at the poor inhabiting the countryside. Therefore, this case study attempts to understand the positive and synergetic role of SHARE in empowering rural SHGs
