520 |a Self Help Groups (SHGs) are becoming one of the important means for the empowerment of poor women in almost all the developing countries including India. Kerala is no exception as regards the role played by women's collectives, known by different names for emancipation and empowerment of poor women. The NGOs who are in the field of socio-economic development of the marginalised sections in the society since last four to five decades, had initially organised Credit Unions and Mahila Samajams for better participation of people in development initiatives and also for thrift and credit facilities. Since the emergence of SHG system, as per the initiatives of National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), and directives from Reserve Bank of India (RBI), from the beginning of 1990s, most of these Mahila Samajams and Credit Unions have been converted into SHGs, linked them to financial institutions for better credit facilities. In Kerala, since the middle of 1990s, the State Government also tookinitiatives in organizing the urban poor women into Neighbourhood Groups (NHGs). These NHGs are recognized as SHGs by NABARD, as far as SHG-Bank linkage and credit facilities are concerned. Kudumbasree is a Programme under the Poverty Eradication Mission (PEM) of Government of Kerala, which came into existence since 1997. The PEM is a Government Organised Non-Governmental Organization (GONGO), directly supervised by the Local Administration Department of the Government of Kerala.The concept of Kudumbasree programme is conceived as a poverty eradication strategy and at the same time as a programme - implemented both in rural as well as in urban areas. The present study was aimed at making a comparative study of the enabling processes and efforts by the NGO and Kudumbasree towards social, economic and political empowerment of poor women since last few years in Kerala.
