An Analytical Study of Women Self- help Groups in Rural Area

Author(s) Dr. Ms. Jayshree Radhakrishna Dighe

Abstract Abstract:
Women Self-Help Groups (SHGs) play a crucial role in promoting socio-economic development and empowerment in rural areas. Their significance stems from various factors that contribute to community resilience, poverty alleviation and women's empowerment. SHGs empower rural women by providing them with a platform to come together, build unity and collectively address socio-economic challenges. Participation in SHGs enhances women's decision-making abilities, confidence and leadership skills, challenging traditional gender norms and promoting a sense of self-reliance.The present study of Self-Help Groups highlights their role in enabling poor individuals to save a portion of their income, which is then utilized to generate capital. Through SHGs, people can start small-scale or micro-businesses, helping to improve their standard of living. This study incorporates both primary and secondary data for analysis. The findings indicate that in many cases, groups are being formed primarily to avail government schemes and subsidies. In some areas, individuals who are aware of these schemes form groups solely to take advantage of the benefits by including their employees and other associated members. However, SHGs are not always fully accountable and members often face difficulties in fulfilling the required documentation.
Through collective action and mutual support, SHGs strengthen social networks, build trust and foster a sense of belonging among members. By creating a supportive environment where women can share experiences, exchange knowledge and offer encouragement, SHGs promote social cohesion and harmony within rural communities.
Keywords Self-Help Groups, Micro finance, Employment generation, Poverty alleviation, Women empowerment, Socio-economic development.
