Abstract

The present study was undertaken to assess the constraints and suggestions regarding entrepreneurial behaviour of SHG members under the National Rural Livelihood Mission in Khanpur block of Samastipur district in Bihar during the year 2022. The data were collected through a pre-tested schedule from 120 respondents who were selected randomly. The collected data were tabulated, analysed, and interpreted with the help of appropriate statistical tools. The descriptive research design was followed for the current study. It was found that more than half of the respondents, i.e., 48.33 percent, were middle-aged, a large proportion of the members (83.33 percent) were literate, and in the case of size of family, the majority of respondents of small families (up to 4 members) (55.83% and 86.67%) had a nuclear family, and a higher percentage (40.00%) of the respondents had semi-cemented houses. The majority of the respondents depend on agriculture for their livelihood. The major constraints faced by the respondents were the low price of products (67.5%), ranked I, followed by a lack of knowledge about the market trend of SHG products (65.83%), ranked II. The major suggestions given by the respondents were the increase in the price of products (68.34%), ranked I, followed by organising various types of entrepreneurial development programmes (65.83%), ranked II.
