EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
What is microfinance?
What is microcredit?
What I learnt-
Bank-
With its constant efforts in the banking field and mounting public
participation it opened its first branch in 1983 which is popularly
known as market yard branch
The bank automated its operations for the first time ever in 1991 by
installing computerized software in its Dana bazaar branch
In the initial years of 20th century the banks business was routed
through robust and core banking solutions and got all its branches
fully computerized
Branch expansion
PROFITABILITY
LITERATURE REVIEW
SELF-HELP GROUPS
(The heart of microfinance)
Goals-
Self help Group (SHGs) are small group of poor people. The
members of an SHG face similar problems. They help each other,
to solve their problems. SHGs promote small saving among their
members. The savings are kept with the bank. This is common
fund in the name of the SHG. The SHG gives small loans to its
members in the name of common fund.
Yes, RBI and NABARD have approved banking with SHGs. RBI
has classified loans to SHGs as priority sector lending.
II. Who help to form SHGs?
IV. Membership
(These are only examples. You can also use locally important
conditions to decide whether a family is poor.)
V. Meetings
I. Minutes Book:
b. Internal lending:
The SHG should use the savings amount for giving loans to
members.
c. Discussing problems:
Soon after an SHG is formed and one or two meetings held where
the savings are collected, a savings bank account can be opened in
the name of the SHG.
This piece of work will draw our attention towards the condition of
women in todays society and the potential they possess to achieve
wonders
Itll help to conclude how JJSBL is serving society through
empowerment of weaker sections
Can be used in the SWOT analysis of micro-financing
structure of JJSBL
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
This chapter focuses on the methodology & the techniques used for
the collection, classification & tabulation of data. It light on the
research problem, the objective of study & its limitations.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Descriptive Research
After the research problem has been identified and selected the
next step is to gather the requisite data. While deciding about the
method of data collection to be used for the researcher should keep
in mind two types of data i.e. primary and secondary.
Primary Data
The primary data are those, which are collected afresh and for the
first time, and thus happened to be original in character. We can
obtain primary data either through observation or through direct
communication with respondent in one form or another or through
personal interview.
Observation method
Interview method
Questionnaire method
Secondary Data
The secondary data on the other hand, are those which have
already been collected by someone else and which have already
been passed through the statistical processes. When the researcher
utilizes secondary data then he has to look into various sources
from where he can obtain them. For e.g. books, magazine,
newspaper, internet, publications and reports.
In this study data have been taken from various secondary sources
like:
Internet
Books
Magazines
Newspapers
Journals
DATA ANALYSIS
Interpretation-
Interpretation-
The above pie-chart depicts that out of the 3800 SHGs of JJSBL
all over Maharashtra, Jalgaon alone consists 250 SHGs followed
by bhusawal, which has 179 SHGs.
The other Talukas doesnt have any impressive number of SHG
compared to these cities. This is mainly because of the rural
background of these cities
One of the most obvious reasons of such fluctuations is that
JJSBLs head office is situated in Jalgaon
Apart from Jalgaon and bhusawal, amalner also have 80 SHGs.
Papad-making 40%
Sewing 30%
Farming 20%
Bag-making 10%
Interpretation-
On the basis of the data from 5-6 most popular SHG samples, it
was found that the most common activity in which almost 40% of the
groups engage themselves in, is papad making.
30% of the women groups prefer sewing activities. And the rest of
the percentage is occupied by groups who are engaged in farming and
bag making.
Apart from these many other SHGs are also focusing on marketing
their home-made products in local hostels, hotels and schools.

This group is known for its zest and enthusiasm particularly in the

started personalized businesses on their own. Some of them give
mehendi tuitions.
Moreover it was seen that after 4 years from their establishment these
women have increased their amount of monthly savings by 100 Rs per

Bank has lent them a sum of rupees 1 lakh. When asked to the bank
about their activities I got to know that they regularly prepare the

sold to hotels and other restaurants. Bank identified their teamwork
and marketing skills and supported them by giving them an
opportunity to setup papad-stalls in last years Jalgaon janata

CONCLUSION
In my opinion, the outcomes demonstrate that JJSBL is making a
positive impact on the lives of the citizens in the state of
Maharashtra who are particularly from weaker sections. During the
study I found out that the bank has been allowing and supporting
group formation, encouraging savings and monitoring the inter-
loaning structure.
LIMITATIONS
1. Time constraints- Shortage of time was a very big constraint
due to which not all 3800 SHGs were studied effectively
2. Error in sampling- Out of the 6 SHGs samples which have
been selected for the purpose of data analysis, there may be
possibilities of vague, erroneous and volatile data
3. Size of data analysis- Since respondents have been in a tight
work and the majority of respondents educational
background is low creates some negligence in filling the
questionnaire. Therefore, these conditions might affect the
quality of the paper to some extents
SUGGESTIONS
This part will lay out some suggestions from my side to JJSBL as
well as the SHGs women with whom I responded. The suggestions
are as follows-
