ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN THROUGH SHG
MUNESHI BAI MEENA
Abstract:
Empowering women seems to be a viable strategy for addressing the primary challenges that our
society is now confronted with. The liberation of women must start at home because of the
inextricable connection that exists between women and their families. The concept of
empowerment may be seen as a process, a movement, or an effort made by a group of people.
Women's empowerment has gained the greatest attention in recent years due to the fact that it
has been abundantly evident that women are not the ones who should be confined to their homes
and that they are not less valued than their male counterparts. Currently, the aid teams in India
are supported by a variety of organizations, including agricultural banks, cooperatives, and nongovernmental organizations. Over the course of the past few years, there has been a lot of focus
placed on the role that self-help groups (SHGs) play in the empowerment of women. Women are
provided with the chance to become economically independent, socially cohesive, and
empowered persons through the establishment of these groups, which are often established at the
community level. These organizations are essential to the process.
