Besides SGSY, the state Rural Development Department, Department of Women Development, North East Rural Livelihoods Project (NERLP), and Nagaland Empowerment of People through Economic Development (NEPeD) has also played a great role in promoting SHGs in the state. NGOs like Rongmai Baptist Association Nagaland (RBAN), Prodigals’ Home, Development Association of Nagaland (DAN) and Agency for Integral Development Action (AIDA) played a significant role in promotion of women empowerment through formation of SHGs in various areas of the state.
