Tripura launches ‘Samriddhi 4.0’ SHG Credit Campaign to strengthen financial inclusion, expand institutional credit access, empower women-led Self-Help Groups and promote sustainable rural livelihoods under the Tripura Rural Livelihood Mission (TRLM).
Tripura has launched ‘Samriddhi 4.0’, a dedicated Self-Help Group (SHG) Credit Campaign aimed at expanding access to institutional finance, strengthening rural livelihoods and promoting financial empowerment among women-led groups across the state.
The initiative was announced during the Second State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) Sub-Committee Meeting for the financial year 2026-27, where officials reviewed the progress of livelihood programmes and discussed strategies to achieve the annual credit targets under the Tripura Rural Livelihood Mission (TRLM).
The meeting was held on Tuesday through video conferencing, with participation from the District Magistrate and Collector of Dhalai district, the Additional District Magistrate and Collector (Planning and Programme), Block Development Officers from different blocks, the District Mission Coordinator of TRLM and other concerned officials. The participants joined the meeting from the Video Conference Hall of the District Magistrate’s Office at Jawaharnagar.
The review meeting was chaired by the Secretary of the Rural Development Department, Government of Tripura. Discussions primarily focused on assessing the progress of SHG credit linkage programmes and reviewing various financial inclusion initiatives being implemented under TRLM across the state.
During the meeting, officials examined the current status of institutional credit support extended to Self-Help Groups and discussed measures to improve access to banking services among rural communities. Special emphasis was placed on ensuring that SHGs receive timely and adequate financial assistance through formal banking channels to strengthen their income-generating activities and improve the economic conditions of rural households.
Participants also reviewed the roadmap for achieving the credit targets set for the financial year 2026-27. They discussed the need for stronger coordination between banking institutions, district administrations and the Tripura Rural Livelihood Mission to ensure effective implementation of credit linkage programmes.
Officials highlighted that expanding financial inclusion is essential for creating sustainable economic opportunities, particularly for women-led Self-Help Groups and rural entrepreneurs. Improved access to institutional finance can enable these groups to establish and expand small businesses, strengthen existing livelihood activities and become more financially independent.
A major highlight of the meeting was the launch of ‘Samriddhi 4.0’, a dedicated SHG Credit Campaign designed to accelerate credit linkages for Self-Help Groups across Tripura. The campaign aims to facilitate easier access to institutional credit and encourage greater participation of SHG members in the formal financial system.
Through this initiative, the government seeks to strengthen the financial foundation of women-led groups, promote livelihood generation and create better opportunities for rural communities. The campaign is also expected to support the broader objectives of TRLM by connecting grassroots-level organisations with banking institutions and improving the availability of financial resources for income-generating activities.
The initiative assumes significance as Self-Help Groups continue to play an important role in promoting women’s economic participation, entrepreneurship and community-based development in rural areas. Access to timely institutional credit can help members expand their economic activities, improve household incomes and contribute to the overall development of their communities.

The meeting concluded with a renewed commitment to strengthening cooperation among government departments, financial institutions, district administrations and grassroots organisations. Officials stressed the importance of coordinated efforts to achieve the annual credit targets and ensure that the benefits of financial inclusion and livelihood development reach eligible Self-Help Groups across all districts of Tripura.
With the launch of ‘Samriddhi 4.0’, Tripura aims to further strengthen its SHG credit linkage framework and accelerate rural economic development through improved financial access and sustainable livelihood opportunities.
