Abstract: . . .  modern/efficient use of biomass, employment and entrepreneurial generation, and efficient rate of usage and repayment of loans, and (3) mechanisms to regularly track performance using such indicators. 5 e. Relevance This SPO has relevance for revitalising rural economies by (1) facilitating establishment of community-based financing systems that are locally sustainable, (2) promoting use of modern and efficient biomass systems, and (3) directly supporting generation of economic and employment opportunities. IX. Implementation Issues: Support from local governing bodies and local financial institutions is . . .

Each woman member contributes a nominal sum towards the corpus of her group, and the group in turn provides her credit services on initially agreed conditions. The groups have evolved self-regulated mechanisms of monitoring repayments. The programme also includes providing credit to rural women/households via a non-profit energy company Grameen Shakti, mainly for solar PV systems.
