'NRLM to link one woman from poor family to SHG'

National Rural Livelihood Mission would connect at least one woman from every poor household across the country with self-help groups in five years, Union minister Jairam Ramesh said on Friday. "The objective is to ensure in five-years, one woman from every poor household becomes a member of self-help group (SHG). Today, we have three crore women who are members of SHGs and we have to raise it to seven crore in five years," Ramesh said.
