Micro-credit programs are primarily related to Self-Help Groups (SHGs). These programs involve providing small loans to low-income individuals, particularly women, who typically lack access to traditional banking services.

Micro-credit initiatives aim to empower these groups by providing them with access to financial resources for small-scale entrepreneurial activities and income generation, thereby promoting economic self-sufficiency and poverty alleviation.
