Get Permission Tailor and Sharma: Role of kitty party in micro finance


Introduction

A kitty party is a gathering of women with similar interests coming together to organize a monthly gathering to do something fun, entertaining, and relaxing. Most of these gatherings are for fun and entertainment. ‘Kitty’ refers to the amount of money collected from the donation of each member of the party. This money is given to one person in the group each month. Each member is given the opportunity to host a party and decide for food, entertainment, and maintenance.1

Kitty teams can be fun and exciting when fun games are a part of it. However, cat members often feel that the task of organizing a happy kitty party is quite challenging. Also, since this is a monthly affair and members expect entertainment, one should know how to increase entertainment with a given budget. To plan it well, the following features need to be carefully planned and well done. The Kitty party is organized by a group of women who come together for the purpose of raising their money in a fund. Each member puts a fixed amount of money into the pot and every month one lucky member gets a chance to take the kitty home and take the money. For example, if the fund value is determined by a member of the group is 1,00,000 then 12 participants can give 8333.33 a month for 12 months and take 1,00,000 if it is their chance. The choice is made by cat members to earn money at the beginning or end. Money initially will work best for people who find it difficult to get a loan or credit card and the latter will work for those who want to buy something or save for the future.1

The Kitty party should be organized monthly.

  1. The organizer will be responsible for coordinating the parties.

  2. The editor should have a conversation with all the Kitty at the right time and on the right date.

  3. Services must be provided for Kitties.

  4. Each member is responsible for attending all the kid's parties.

  5. Punishment is a system of not attending meetings such as hosting the next kitty party, even if it is not his or her turn.

Reasons to join the kitty

The main reasons for joining a kitty party are the following:

  1. A great way to save money

  2. It helps to meet basic needs

  3. A matter of time-saving

  4. Security

  5. The role of government is insignificant

  6. Easy and easily accessible source

  7. Security deposit is not required

  8. Minimum investment.

Indian men have the power to control family finances and to make critical decisions. Kitty groups give women a degree of economic independence. Women manage a large amount of money, which they can save, invest, or overcome financial difficulties. Women use a lot of kitties to fund their children's education, to pay for wedding expenses or to help with household chores. This enables women to have a say in important family decisions from the education of children to marital opportunities.2

Kitty parties are also a way for women to connect and develop their small businesses, from the sale of textiles to cooking. Some women have created start-up businesses by leading the kitty, creating job opportunities for other women. Not only do kitty groups work to promote women’s entrepreneurial efforts, but they also provide women’s ways to help community members who need more help.3

In villages throughout India, women use party proceeds to give poor neighbors loans that they cannot afford from regular banks and credit lines. To fill the banking gap, women borrow money with a small interest rate. When the loan is repaid, the original loan amount and interest earned are re-invested and given to another member of the public who needs assistance.
