Its roots lay partly in uneducated workforce working in urban areas and partly in the socio-economic structure of urban India. Among various poverty alleviation schemes introduced, micro-finance envisages to bring about qualitative changes in the living conditions of the poor, uneducated urban women has become vital for their economic and social sustainability. Women working in Manufacturing and Production industries form a large part of the above said group in the urban areas. The beneficiaries who have access to credit under microfinance are playing important role in the socioeconomic life of their family. Nevertheless, one of the weaknesses of microfinance is a tendency to utilize the facility for urgent monetary requirements of the households instead of spending on self-employment micro-enterprise (SEM). In this research paper, the primary data was collected from women working in production and manufacturing industries of Mysuru district of Karnataka.This paper makes an attempt to look at the usage of loans of 124 women members of self-help groups who participated in microfinance programmes. The findings indicate that majority of the beneficiaries have used the loans for starting their own part- time micro-enterprises which is supplementing their wages they are getting from the factory. This has enabled the women members of self-help groups to become economically independent and helped them earn a stable income.

The factshows that more than 75% of the households in the country earn less than Rs8, per month or Rs.53 per capita per day. Also, more than % of the population are landless and an equal number are homeless living in urban low rental areas and slums. This shows that India has the largest concentration of the economically weak people in the world. Majorityof them work as manual casual labour which reflect the prevailing social situation seven decades after independence and the type of development we have made. The problem of women in poverty is in fact even more complex. Over the last two decades, the number of women living in poverty across the country has grown both in absolute terms and in comparison with men. The fact remains that the women who constitute one half of the population are still suffering because of discrimination and poverty. We have to admit that this is the outcome of a number of social and economic factors. To mitigate the problem of poverty NABARD during the year promoted microfinance. This provision of thrift, credit and other financial services and products of small amounts will help the poor enabling them to raise their income levels and improve their living standards. Presently, under the self-help group (SHG) there are two models of microfinance viz., (i) bank linkage model(sbl) and (ii) the microfinance institution model (MFI). In the case of SBL, SHGs are formed and financed by MFIs which obtain resource support from different sources. In our country, most of the microfinance activity is under the SBL model. Microfinance programmes aimed at the poor women are designed to help them to come out of the clutches of poverty and make a sustainable living. One of the assumptions of the scheme is that loans are the only financing system that can provide sufficient capital to meet the needs for micro-enterprise finance. Under this scheme, credit is available for various purposes ranging from urgent consumption needs to accumulation of assets. Also, the credit users are encouraged to initiate small income generating micro-enterprise. It is a fact that self-employment activities bring income, increase consumption levels, lead to a rise in the demand for education of children. Empirical studies also underline the impact of micro-enterprise on the lives of the poor resulting in an increase in income and improvement in their standard of living. The question is to what extent women SHG members are making use of the credit opportunities that are available to them for productive entrepreneurial purposes and how can this be further encouraged to produce sustainable incomes for them? Against this background, the present study makes an attempt to analyse the impact of micro-finance programmes aimed at poor and impoverished urban women in particular, using survey data gathered from members of women SHGs functioning in Mysuru district of Karnataka state. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW: In the field of micro financing and self-help groups a considerable literature has emerged as a result of interest shown in different aspects of economic relations by social scientists during the last two decades. This interest is understandable in view of the immense contribution of women self-help groups to the process of economic and social change in India editor@iaeme.com

The study confirms that women SHGs help their members to have access to financial system and thereby become socially and economically empowered. Jun Goto. The impact of self-help group programmes: Experimental and survey evidence fromsouth India (14). The outcome of the study of SHGs by a foreign scholar indicates that group members who are rich are more likely to be benefited economically. In the case of poor members asset creation and consumption requirements are taking out poverty through SHG modeled microfinance initiatives. Ajay Tankha. Banking on self-help groups Twenty years on.

Self-help groups: A keystone of microfinance in India-womenempowerment and social security (5). The study indicated that the repayment rates were high and that the bank linkage made difference in the lives of the SHG members. The authors conclude that non-financial areas such as social security and gender dynamics are also affected by the SHG movement. Vasantha. Microfinance through self-help groups as catalyst for poverty reduction andwomen empowerment (15). The study recognized the potential of micro-finance in reducing poverty. The participation of poor women in SHGs has not only enabled these women to meet their credit needs but also resulted in general awareness, capacity building, self-confidence and courage which has been translated into empowerment.

9 The Impact of Microfinance through Self-Help Groups (SHG): A Study on the economic status of urban women working in Production and Manufacturing Industries in Mysuru District phones, TV sets, Motor bike, Gas, Electricity, protected water and other household facilities. Suggestions: With the focus on poverty and employment among urban women, the development of income generating activities has to be approached strategically, more or less simultaneously, from several directions. These are: Credit provisions should be tied up with support components of training in organisational management to enable women borrowers to become confident in managing their microenterprises. The SHG members should be motivated and convinced that SEMs will be a source of regular income to improve their living standards. Microfinance schemes have to emphasize the use of loans for productive purposes only. The Urban development administration should be oriented towards pro-poor and proactive by providing critical services to SHGs. Non-governmental or voluntary organizations like MYRADA should be drafted to provide linkages between SHGs and micro financing agencies/institutions. Concerted efforts should be made to develop human resource skills, including entrepreneurial skills in urban areas. The need of the hour is to make the existing economic institutions work more efficiently or making small adjustments in them. 6. CONCLUSIONS: The poor women working in production and manufacturing industries in urban areas of Mysuru city are helped by the SHGs in finding ways and means to get credit in their neighborhoods. There are cases reported from different societies which are success stories. SHGs in Karnataka also have proved to be an effective mechanism for the accumulation of small and regular savings of women pooled for future use of loans. As against 9 % of the members who have availed consumption or bank loans from their respective SHGs, nearly 7% have taken loans for SEM. More often the women act as bread winners and are burdened with huge responsibility of taking care of their family. Most of our respondents in the study, in addition to their work take up small business and odd jobs to support their family. The study confirms that women through SHGs are increasingly becoming economically independent and thereby bring stability in their personal income. The literature on microfinance have indicated that women have the potential, skill and ability to succeed in microenterprises. In the case of Karnataka the success of creating confidence to run a business of their own lies in the socio-economic context of the society. A general improvement is found in the living conditions of the women members after they joined SHG and availed credit. Also there is a feeling that the use of loans for domestic and family need can help improvement in their living standards. The outcome is that they are forced to open some kind of regular income generating self-employment enterprise editor@iaeme.com
