The contribution of the SHG programme to financial inclusion, poverty reduction, and women empowerment has been commendable since its initiation. But although the programme has been implemented throughout the country, its success is scattered. This study evaluates the performance of SHGs during 2015-22. The focus is on the overall performance of the SHG programme and its regional variations. It shows that the programme is performing well, but its success is more skewed towards the southern region, while the northern and northeastern regions are lagging.
