SGSY is being implemented since April 1999 as a major anti-poverty scheme for the rural poor, by organizing them into Self Help Groups (SHGs), providing them with skill development training and helping them to get credit linkage with financial institutions and providing infrastructure and marketing support for the products produced by them. Government of India and the State Government are sharing the costs in the ratio of 75:25.

The SGSY fund is used to provide subsidy for the Revolving fund and Economic assistance to Self Help Groups. Part of the Scheme component is also utilised for formation of groups and conduct of training for their basic orientation and skill upgradation. Upto 20% of the total allocation can also be spent on putting up of Infrastructure required for promotion of activities of SHGs. The SHGs, after the first grading, are provided with a revolving fund of Rs.50,000 for first linkages (bank loan of Rs.50,000 and Rs.10,000 as subsidy) Rs.1.00 lakhs for second linkages and Rs.1.5 lakhs for third and subsequent linkages. After the second grading, the successful groups are provided with economic assistance, the maximum eligible subsidy being 50% of the project cost with a ceiling of Rs.1.25 lakhs.
