SHRAM (Self-Help & Rural Access to Markets)

SHRAM (Self-Help & Rural Access to Markets) is a program designed to empower rural communities by supporting self-help groups, typically composed of local women and men, to improve their livelihoods. It provides training, resources, and infrastructure to help these groups produce goods or services, enabling them to access broader markets. The goal is to promote economic development, reduce poverty, and strengthen community resilience by fostering local entrepreneurship and ensuring sustainable access to markets outside their immediate area. Ultimately, SHRAM aims to create inclusive growth and improve living standards in rural regions.
