Self help group: a strategic tool for women empowerment
Mathur, P1, Agarwal, P2.
In a patriarchal society, like India, women live a very underprivileged life. In order to
improve the condition of women, the government of India has adopted the strategy of Self
Help Groups(SHGs). In this study, an attempt is made to analyse the role SHGs play in
the empowerment of Indian women. The SHG is the association of 15-20 members of the
same socioeconomic background working collectively to solve problems on the principle
of self-help, harmony and mutual coordination. In this study research was conducted on
125 respondents from SHG group and Non-SHG group to facilitate comparison. The
results indicate that SHG strategy helps in the empowerment of women.
