RGVN has played a prominent role of working as a Self Help Group Promoting Institution (SHPI) by organizing, nurturing and enabling credit linkage of SHGs with banks. On 26/7/2022 a credit linkage meeting of LEDP Handloom programme was held in Darrang in the presence of DDM NABARD, AGVB Regional Manager Nalbari, AGVB BM Bordoulguri Branch, LDM UCO Bank and Monitoring & Evaluation Officer from RGVN.

This will enable to promote and facilitate credit linkage of these groups with Banks, provide continuous handholding support, enable their journey to livelihoods and also take the responsibility for loan repayments.

With a view to foster better understanding of mutual requirements between banks, SHGs & SHPIs and to sort out issues like credit linkage and repayment etc. at ground level, Village Level Programmes (VLPs) are being conducted with the support of banks and NRLM. These VLPs sponsored by NABARD are also helping in opening of SHG accounts, their credit linkage and regular loan repayments.
