On 27.03.2019, 30 SHGs were formed in the Bon Secours College for Women, Thanjavur, with a total membership of 582 students covering the under graduates and post graduates of the college. These SHGs were enrolled in FAMCO as members. The students have pledged to save money during their study at the college. When they leave the college, they will take their savings together with interest. Thus the students not only learn the value of savings but also learn practically to save collectively, maintain proper records, accounting, function as members of a group, follow the rules and regulations of their own, become leaders of their own group and perform the required roles of leadership positions.
