PSLW is a unique program which adheres to develop participatory sense and approach in developing the private small and medium range enterprises being operated. This program is also aimed to enhance the capabilities and business positions of its beneficiaries. As availability of financial resources, market avenues have remained out of reach of poor village communities due to various reasons, The AMRDO has so far been desirably successful in enabling the rural base small and medium enterprises to stabilize their business positions, find access to urban market, and better utilize marketing mechanism to stabilize their business positions.
