Abstract

The self Help Group (SHG) is group of rural poor who have organized themselves into a group for eradicationof poverty. The members of the group belong to families below the poverty line. This will help the families of occupational groups like agricultural labourers, marginal farmers, designers and artisans marginally above the poverty line, or who may have been excluded from the Below Poverty Line (BPL) list to become members of the Self Help Group. A self help group consists of two categories. One named as magalier thittam and another is non- magalier thittam. The factors of Self help group categories are random in nature. These factors can be handled using stochastic linear programming problem (SLPP). Here the data is collected from Tuticorin district. The optimization technique such as two stage programming and chance constrained programming can be adopted for SLPP. In this paper chance constrained programming (CPP) is used to obtain optimal solution.
