KudumbaShree project
One of the aims of this project is also to analyze the data provided to us by Kudumbashree (KuSh) about various Microenterprises operating in Kerala in various sectors of the economy. We shall also attempt to analyze trends, patterns, anomalies for different categories of MEs, as detailed as possible. This page documents all the relevant literature review and data analysis aspects that are needed for the KuSh database. Also all the results of the analysis have been documented.
Proposed deliverables for KuSh project:
- Study of KuSh model for microfinance: Identify strong points, possible shortcomings and improvements, based on comprehensive survey of MFIs, evalauation parameters, and impact assessments
- Relate theoretical estimates with the actual results obtained from the MESurvey database and identify how well the established parameters can help analyze the KuSh database. Also identify anomalies and get advice from them on possible reasons
- Prepare a white paper to be submitted to KuSh reagrding our findings, and any improvements that we can suggest for making the process of selecting and evaluating MEs and data mangement system more smoother
- Also help KuSh with technical help for the Recovery Information System and State wide survey to be shortly launched.
