Rural Development: SHG Financial Institution

In pursuit of establishing the Financial Institution
for strengthening the bank linkage of Self Help
Groups (SHGs) in the State of Meghalaya, CRISP in a
joint effort with Meghalaya State Rural Livelihood
Society (MSLRS) initiated the mobilization of
registered Cluster Level Federations (CLFs) to
orient the concept of the proposed institution
with the Executive Committee (EC) members.

HUB & SPOKE MODEL: Strengthening Village

Level Development Plan (VLDP)

Considering the unique Village system in Meghalaya
where the Matrilineal system is culturally rooted, CRISP
has adopted three villages viz. Jarain, Mookyniang &
Madan Bitaw under West Jaintia Hills District (WJH) &
East Khasi Hills (EKH). Envisioning to strengthen the
traditional system and structure, CRISP envisages
closely engaging with the different Community-
Based Organizations (CBOs) in collaboration with the
Government of Meghalaya to strive for a holistic and
inclusive development approach. The pursuit strives
to enhance Livelihood opportunities for SHGs and
its members while focusing on attaining Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) at the grassroots level.
