A southern-level workshop as part of the National Supportive Supervision Framework (NSSF) under the Ministry of Rural Development to nurture cluster-level federations began here on Wednesday.

The event was part of drafting new action plans to ensure the social and financial welfare of self-help groups and members of neighbourhood groups. Jui Bhattacharya, national mission manager for the National Mission Management Unit, inaugurated the workshop. The aim is to make each cluster-level federation financially self-sustaining by 2047, she was quoted as saying in a release issued here.

Representatives from Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry, and Lakshadweep shared their suggestions and participated in group discussions on the occasion.

An action plan to suit the requirements of each State will be prepared after taking into consideration various factors like human resources, financial sustainability, and benefits for the members, according to the release.
