The new paradigm of microfinance put emphasis on women through Self Help Groups (SHGs) in order to improve their living standard by empowering them in all respect, and it helps to become an enterprising women. Taking the cognition of NABARD’s pioneering effort, in the same vein, Government of India launched Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY) in1999 to make easy access to the subsidised credit for the enterprising women. Millions of SHGs were formed under SGSY around the nation, and now, it is restructured and renamed as National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). The principal objective of this study is to gauge the root causes of the obstacles which are facing by the women microfinance beneficiaries in their socio-economic empowerment process. This study concentrates on the major areas of empowerment of enterprising women. Adequate amount of data was collected through survey with the 280 NRLM beneficiaries as the randomly selected sample respondents. The outcome of the study shows that majority of the beneficiaries are involved in traditional sector i.e. chira muri making and agriculture based products and they use to sale it in their local market, mostly on credit. Naturally the women beneficiaries under NRLM are lived in a measurable condition. To substantiate this finding appropriate case vignette was formulated on the basis of personal interview with the beneficiaries in several occasions.","PeriodicalId":165213,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Business and Management","volume":"51 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132707440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It encourages the utilization of electronic (computer platform) to perform payment through bank transfers in terms of biometrics although their growth has not been as fast as some have predicted. This kind of system has been said to be very useful in stirring any economy from cashbased economy to a cashless economy with numerous advantage.There is a stigma attached to biometrics in which people have concerns over their usage. It may be that they fear what banks may do with their personal biometric data or it may be that they do not like the disturbing nature of the devices. A user-trial was suggested to investigate the awareness of biometrics, in order to conclude what the general public think about biometrics and their use. There were seven biometric devices chosen for the study and they are Fingerprint recognition, Iris recognition, Facial recognition, Signature recognition, Voice/Speech recognition, hand print and palm geometry with regards to its availability and cost. Hence, this paper has presented the usage of multiple human physiological cum physical features in securing this platform from the opinion of the technology students as they are the future of the country. Fifty student participants had taken part in the survey to answer questions to gain an opinion about the technology. It was found that fingerprint recognition was the most favoured of the technology, whereas Voice/Speech and Signature were the least liked.","PeriodicalId":165213,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Business and Management","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124943471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
