BRIEF REPORT ON ORGANISATION OF GROUP DISCUSSION
Introduction: Organizing Group Discussions with 100 women members of is one of the planned activities under Intensive Bivoltine Sericulture Development Project for Nagaland and accordingly MANT has been able to initiate this programme with the help of Sericulture Dept. Govt. of Nagaland at DSO office, Signal-Angami, Dimapur, Nagaland for Medziphema Block and at Sericulture Farm, Dhansiripar for Dhansiripar Block with 400 beneficiaries. Please see annexure A & B for necessary details. Scope: The Group Discussions held on the following topic
A. Mal Nutrition B. Role of Women in Sericulture C. Group Evaluation D. Women Health E. Responsibilities of SHG F. Accounts Management G. Book Keeping H. Natural Resource Based IGAs I. Basic steps & precautions of Sericulture J. Kitchen Garden K. Internal Lending L. Access to Credit Facilities M. Effectiveness of Office Bearers/Leaders N. Internal Conflict Management
Content:
The Content of the each Topic discussed were given below in a nutshell
A. Malnutrition: Malnutrition, defined as underweight, is a serious public-health problem that has been linked to a substantial increase in the risk of mortality and morbidity. Women and young children bear the brunt of the disease burden associated with malnutrition.
Pag
e35
The term malnutrition generally refers both to under-nutrition and over-nutrition. Many factors can cause malnutrition, most of which relate to poor diet or severe and repeated infections, particularly in underprivileged populations.
Inadequate diet and disease, in turn, are closely linked to the general standard of living, the environmental conditions, and whether a population is able to meet its basic needs such as food, housing and health care.
The nutritional status of women and children is equally important, because it is through women and their off-spring that the pernicious effects of malnutrition are propagated to future generations. A malnourished mother is likely to give birth to a low birth-weight (LBW) baby susceptible to disease and premature death, which only further undermines the economic development of the family and society, and continues the cycle of poverty and malnutrition.
B. Role of women in Sericulture:
During interactive lecture on the above mentioned topic, facilitator emphasis on its history, role & responsibilities of women in sericulture, benefits of undertaking sericulture, why it’s
called agro-based cottage industry, relation between caring nature of women & sericulture etc. Facilitator also discussed that Sericulture is one among the high income generating industry, hence promoting women entrepreneurs in Sericulture will lead to economic development and empowerment of women.
C. Group Evaluation: During this session the process & necessity of SHG evaluation has been discussed and along with the following gradation sheet.

E. Responsibilities of SHG: How in ancient India women played an important role in society, why & how the status & security gets deteriorated during medieval ages were discussed initially. The sessions were followed by discussion issues on societal role of women, sighting examples of distinguished female personalities & their contribution in society. Role of cluster leaders were also shared on humble request from the participants.
F. Accounts Management: For effective functioning of the SHG, Group level documentation had been emphasised. Pros & Cons of Accounts Management, gap in keeping group accounts were also discussed during the sessions. Group wise loop holes in Accounts Management were identified & resolved accordingly.
G. Book Keeping: Each of the SHGs was provided Registers to maintain proper documentation of the Group based activities. Three Registers viz, Group Resolution Register, Group Saving Register, Group Loan & Loan Recovery Registers were thoroughly checked and mistakes & gaps were pointed out & resolved accordingly. The leaders were asked to give attention while doing documentation related task at group level since clear & transparent documentation lead to less/no conflict among the members.
Pag
e38
H. Income Generation Activities: Several Natural resources based & Agro process based IGAs were shared among the beneficiaries that can add income to their family. The general tendency is for women to work in the home and produce goods for domestic consumption. Not for the market. However, the objective was to make them understand that the aim of an IGA is to produce for the market and furthermore it can be called micro or small-scale enterprise, whether it is managed at individual or group level. One of the main criteria to choose an IGA should be its profitability.
I. Sericulture: Types of silk worms & their nature, major diseases & its remedies, precautions / preventive measures to be taken were shared elaborately during the discussion sessions.
J. Kitchen Garden & Organic Farming: Access to an adequate amount and variety of safe foods at all times is one of the most basic rights of every individual, yet it remains difficult to attain for a significant number of families. When. Resources such as land and labour with improved tools and seeds and the right information can increase the productivity and obtain sufficient nutritious foods by fully developing their land. Every individual among the beneficiaries have some amount of land around their home. These areas offer great potential for improving household food supplies. These areas i.e. the home garden can be used to raise many kinds of fruit, vegetables, staple food crops, medicinal plants, spices and, sometimes, farm animals and fish. It can also be used as a work area and a place for storage of farm produce and equipment. The home garden also has an important economic function as a source of food production for sale and income generation.
Pag
e39
Use of Vermi-compost, Farm yard manure, liquid manure, preparation of Bio-pest repellent, Neem oil etc were shared during discussion
The Mind Map has also been shared during the session
K. Internal Lending: During the Group Discussion on this particular topic facilitator stated that all SHG members should regularly save a small amount. The amount may be small, but savings have to be regular and continuous habit with all the members. The primary motto of every SHG member should be - “Savings first, Credit later.” Staring small savings will take the SHG members a step towards self dependence and they will learn financial discipline through savings and internal lending which will be very useful when they will use bank loans. While discussing about Internal lending facilitator clearly mentioned the following points that are to be decided by group itself.
The purpose of loan The amount of loan The rate of interest The schedule of repayment The Fine amount (in case of defaulter) Ongoing loan (if any) Prioritization
Simple & Clear books of accounts should be there at group level to maintain transparency & avoid conflict.
L. Access to Credit Facilities:
Discussion on the mentioned topic was very interactive. In a nutshell firstly facilitator talked about the credit sources and then stated that the Access to credit facilities clearly depends on the health of the SHG. The donors need to know whether the SHG is functioning well or not. The donors will assess / evaluate the credit requirement & capacity of repayment of the SHG prior sanctioning of any credit facilities. The SHG can get direct finance or can receive indirect finance in their group account.
