ROLE OF SELF HELP GROUPS IN REPRESENTING WOMEN IN SOCIETY

  • Dr. Suyog G

Abstract

In the rural Indian region, this paper deals with both women's empowerment and their financial security. Since the Indian economy is based on agriculture and agriculture does not guarantee a fixed income, there is no fixed and continuous source of income for a marginal number of people with a rural background to support their family's daily needs. In rural areas, people's jobs are disguised as kind and many people depend on a single source of income or a piece of land. In order to support these people, the government has introduced a micro finance scheme, and the establishment of a self-help group (SHG) is part of the micro finance system. SHGs have proven to be a milestone in empowering women in villages, especially where a group of women (usually between 10 and 20) come together to achieve a financial goal to help each other.
