Abstract
Transparency and collaborativeness are two essential features required for dependability. These two issues in social groups are not well studied. The present paper studies these two aspects in distributed work group environment such as Self Help Groups [SHGs]. There were several thousands of SHGs spread geographically all over India [about 3.367 million SHGs as of April 2011]. Automation of SHG was not proposed by any research work. This paper attempts to provide a rudimentary framework for transparency and collaborativeness in SHGs upon which holistic models can be developed in future.
