Broad questions on social and economic mobility, decision-making, individual
empowerment and community activities of SHG members were posed to the group. The
objective was to extract unique stories, case studies and anecdotes that would substantiate
the survey findings. Further, in-depth interviews were also conducted with select office
bearers of the 10 SHG groups to enrich the data with qualitative aspects and provide a
more ‘complete’ picture of the issues probed.
