SHGs Support
Shrijan – SHG Development Program
The Online Service Association (OSA) has always stood by the underprivileged sections of society. Our SHG Support Program aims to uplift and empower small Self Help Groups (SHGs) by providing them with training, enterprise guidance, and sometimes financial assistance.
Through this program, we also encourage and guide those who wish to start something new but lack proper direction. Whether it is making clay products, painting, or developing eco-friendly materials, SHGs get the right platform to enhance their skills and earn opportunities.
Objectives
- To empower women and youth towards self-reliance
- To promote traditional and local art forms
- To encourage eco-friendly products for environmental sustainability
- To prepare SHGs for entrepreneurship and enterprise development
- To provide skill development through training, surveys, and program-based tasks
