Question 933 in the woman's questionnaire, which asks if the woman is aware of any 'program that gives loans to women to start/expand a business'- does it refer to Self help Groups? Or is it inclusive of other informal micro-credit institutions as well?
Thank you in advance.

The question is asked verbatim, without any explanation about how to interpret the meaning of the question. However, if the respondent asks about what is meant, the interviewer can refer to the following language in the Interviewer's Manual: "There are many different kinds of schemes that are set up to loan money to women to start their own business or do work to earn money. For example, micro-credit programmes give loans to rural women to buy a cow to start getting and selling milk, or to women to buy a sewing machine so that they can work as a tailor. We want to know if the respondent knows of any such programme and if she has utilized any such programme."
