For SHG Federations
One Dashboard.
Every SHGs.
Real Data, In Real Time.
Group Connect for federations connects every self help group under your federation into a single command centre — so the federation can communicate instantly, monitor performance as it happens, and back every decision with real financial data.
Built for Area Development Societies, Community Development Societies and independent SHG federations of any size.
Federation-level visibility, Without the manual follow-Up
Most federations still depend on paper registers, phone calls and monthly visits to know how their member SHGs are actually performing. Group Connect replaces that guesswork with a live, federation-wide view — collection rates, loan health, meeting attendance and fund utilisation, updated the moment a group records it.
The problem every federation recognises
ADS and CDS units are responsible for dozens, sometimes hundreds, of SHGs — but most federations only find out a group is struggling after arrears have piled up or a meeting register goes missing. Manual consolidation of registers takes days, performance grading is subjective, and genuinely well-run groups rarely get recognised or supported in time.
Everything your federation needs to monitor SHGs
Real-Time Federation Statistics
See savings, loans, repayments and attendance across every affiliated SHG the moment they are recorded — no waiting for monthly consolidation.
Consolidated Financial Reports
Generate federation-wide and group-wise financial reports, PDFs and audit-ready statements in a few taps, instead of weeks of manual compilation.
SHG Performance Scoring
Rank and evaluate SHGs on repayment discipline, meeting regularity and fund utilisation, so your federation can identify and reward well-run groups.
Federation-Wide Communication
Broadcast circulars, meeting schedules and fund disbursement updates to every SHG office-bearer instantly, with delivery confirmation.
Loan Distributions & Fund Oversight
Track federation-linked loans, subsidy disbursements and revolving fund utilisation across groups with a clear, auditable trail.
Multi-Level Hierarchy Support
Model your existing structure — SHG, ADS/Ward level and CDS/federation level — so data rolls up automatically without re-entry at every stage.
A single dashboard for every affiliated SHGs
Instead of collecting registers from each group individually, your federation gets one login that surfaces every SHG's savings, loans, meeting attendance and fund position side by side.
Drill down from a federation-level summary into any single group, member or transaction in seconds — the same real-time data the group secretary sees, available to your federation office as well.
Real-time performance analytics & reports
Group Connect continuously calculates repayment rates, overdue loans, meeting regularity and savings growth for every SHG, and rolls these up into federation-level analytics automatically.
Export ready-to-present PDF reports for federation meetings, government reviews or funding agencies, with accurate figures pulled directly from group-level transactions rather than manually re-typed registers.
Identify and support your best-performing groups
Objective, data-backed scoring means your federation can recognise disciplined, hard-working SHGs based on actual repayment and attendance history — not just periodic self-reporting.
Spot groups showing early signs of stress, such as rising arrears or falling attendance, so your federation can step in with guidance and support before problems grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Group Connect for Federations?
It is the federation-level module of Group Connect, the SHG Management platform, that consolidates data from every affiliated self help group into one real-time dashboard for ADS, CDS and other Independent federations.
Do our member SHGs need to change how they work?
No. Member SHGs continue using the same Group Connect app for meetings, savings and loans. Your federation simply gains a consolidated view of the data they already record.
Can we generate reports for government or funding agencies?
Yes. Group Connect can export federation-wide and group-wise financial and performance reports as PDFs, suitable for reviews, audits and funding applications.
How is SHG performance evaluated?
Performance is calculated from actual recorded data — repayment discipline, meeting attendance, savings growth and fund utilisation — giving your federation an objective basis for evaluation rather than manual self-reporting.
Is our federation's data secure?
Yes. Access is role-based, so federation office-bearers, ADS coordinators and auditors only see the data relevant to their role, backed by the same security used across the Group Connect platform.
