The Indian diaspora is increasingly engaging with the homeland by forming a range of migrant organizations -- organizations constituting a growing sector of non-State actors who engage with the host country and the country of origin in a sustained and profound way. Research on migrant organizations tends to focus only on transnational migrant organizations in host countries. Indian Migrant Organizations analyses a set of local and transnational organizations formed by Indian migrants, whose activities include mobilizing resources and connections and engaging in numerous development initiatives in India, and studies their engagement particularly in the Indian healthcare and education sectors. In particular, the book discusses how these organizations have evolved, what kind of healthcare and educational projects and activities they are carrying out, and how such collective efforts are affecting development dynamics in India.

Government’s micro-credit interventions are found effective in poverty alleviation. The economic condition of people can be improved by virtue of the micro-credit touch and that is evident in some areas like income & expenditure, living conditions, food intake and few other aspects of daily necessity. It is evident that the incidence, intensity and severity of poverty can be significantly reduced among the members of micro-credit project. The income of the project members’ households is determined by the enterprise age i.e. length of membership in project, total amount of loan, total amount of investment and land holding size. Micro-credit project members believe that the structural causes i.e. generally the lack of support from the Government is mostly responsible for poverty. Government’s micro-credit intervention has had a significant impact in the lives of the project members and is a way forward towards a desired level of poverty reduction.
