The National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development
(NABARD) has launched a project titled “EShakti” for the digitization of all
members of Self Help Group (SHG) in India. The project aims to bring all SHG
members under the fold of financial inclusion thereby helping them access wider
range of financial services. EShakti is designed to capture the demographic and
financial profiles of members, including their identification data like Aadhaar
and EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Card).
