Membership Drive 2009

Indian Network of Federations of Microfinance Self-Help Groups (INFOS)
is a national network of SHGs federations. The network aims at sharing
a common mission of contributing towards growth of the member
federations through capacity building and policy advocacy initiatives,
facilitating co-learning and through inculcating self-regulation.
INFOS was incorporated in June 2006 and has come to gain an dentity
among the SHG federations in the country and position itself as a
strong and vibrant network. INFOS has a membership of 40 SHG
Federations now and has wider geographical representation across the
country. The Network has initiated capacity building programmes
through events such as policy workshops, regional conventions,
national seminars, exchange visits, governance trainings for leaders,
newsletters and established four Regional chapters for decentralising
