Abstract


Empowerment is an active multi-dimensional process for enabling women to realize their identity and power in all spheres of life. Large numbers of Self- Help Groups have come up with 10-20 members. SHG also enables livelihood opportunities for village women through micro-credit and generates self-employment in this area. There are total 129 SHGs in Boginadi block, out of which 75 groups are formed only with women. In it, various economic activities are performed as per their ability. But till now the proper investigation has not been undertaken on the performance of SHGs and their impact on the creation of employment and generation of income in the study area. Therefore the study was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of SHGs, through primary data collected from SHGs member beneficiaries through structured Interview Schedule method.
