Enhancing Women Income Through Formation of Self-Help Groups

Indian census 2011 represents female population million which is 48 per cent of the total population. Out of this million, i.e. 69 per cent of the female population was from the rural areas (Zuber, 2003). Indian constitution provides equal rights to both men and women. But women still are not treated as equivalent as men (Sharma, 2014). Generally it has been found that rural women are in front of the various problems like proper medical facilities, lack of education, malnutrition, environment, health care etc. as compared to the urban women population.
