Prime Trust conducts surveys on the micro-credit outcomes in the women Self Help Groups

Prime Trust with the support of the interns from Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSOM) conducted a survey to assess the outcomes of microcredit given to women self-help groups. The survey was done from June 27, 2023, to June 30, 2023, as part of their internship program. The primary objective of the survey was to evaluate the impact of microcredit on the economic empowerment and socio-economic well-being of women belonging to Self-Help Groups. The survey team aimed to assess various aspects such as changes in income and employment, and access to financial services. The microcredit provided to the self-help groups has had a positive economic impact. A significant percentage of respondents reported an increase in their income levels since accessing microcredit, leading to improved living conditions. The microcredit received by the self-help groups has facilitated the creation of new employment opportunities. The survey indicated that microcredit has played a significant role in empowering women within self-help groups.

While the outcomes of microcredit were generally positive, the survey also highlighted some challenges faced by the self-help groups. Common challenges included limited financial literacy, high-interest rates, and difficulties in accessing markets for their products. These challenges require attention and targeted interventions to further enhance the benefits of microcredit.

That sounds like a significant event for the interns at Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSOM), Bengaluru. The orientation session conducted by Prime Educational and Social Trust at Janani Home on June 26, 2023, and led by Mr. S.M. Arasu, the Founder and Managing Trustee of Prime Trust, must have provided valuable and guidance to the interns.

Prime Trust is known for its dedication to education and social welfare, and Mr. S.M. Arasu's involvement indicates the importance attached to the orientation session. The session likely aimed to familiarize the interns with the objectives and values of Prime Trust, as well as provide them with practical knowledge and skills relevant to their internship.

Orientation sessions are typically conducted to introduce new members or participants to an organization's mission, goals, and work culture. They often cover topics such as organizational structure, expectations, responsibilities, and any specific guidelines or protocols relevant to the interns' roles.

Attending an orientation session can help interns gain a better understanding of the organization they are associated with and enable them to align their efforts with the trust's vision. It may also foster a sense of community among the interns and provide opportunities for networking and collaboration.

Overall, the orientation session conducted by Prime Trust and led by Mr. S.M. Arasu would have likely played a vital role in setting the interns on the right path and preparing them for a meaningful and productive internship experience at JAGSOM.
