How Self-Help Groups (SHGs) Can Help India Achieve UN SDG Goals

New Delhi [India], December 21: The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting, scheduled for January 20 to 24, 2025, in Davos, Switzerland, will feature Karanvir Singh, Chairman of Visionum Group and the “Voice of India.” Singh will highlight the transformative role of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

SHGs, primarily led by women, drive progress in poverty alleviation (SDG 1), gender equality (SDG 5), and climate action (SDG 13) through microcredit, entrepreneurship, and sustainable practices. Many SHGs contribute to responsible consumption (SDG 12) with activities like organic farming and eco-friendly crafts.

Singh’s Connecting Nations initiative, accessible at www.connectingnations.org, integrates SHGs into global markets, enabling rural entrepreneurs to participate in international trade and drive economic growth. He stated, “India’s SHGs are a model of grassroots empowerment and innovation. By scaling their reach, we can address global challenges.”

Singh’s presence at Davos is expected to amplify the SHG movement, promoting international partnerships and showcasing how SHGs can position India as a global leader in sustainable development.
