Abstract
India is a country where 70% of the population resides in a rural area and males significantly outnumber females, an imbalance that has increased over time. The typical female advantage in life expectancy is not seen in India and this suggests there are systematic problems in women’s health care.Self-help groups may play a role in health production. Two main factors are proposed as key elements in health production, female autonomy at the individual level and social solidarity at the group level. While working with Self Help groups women gain experience with financial affairs, also their status within the household is raised, as they were seen to be contributing to the welfare of the family.To study the socio-demographic and morbidity profile of women in selfhelp groups was the objective of this study.Community based Cross Sectional study in the rural area, catered by R H & T C with sample size of 280 was carried out.It was found that maximum members were illiterates from Class IV Socioeconomic Class.Anaemia was the major morbidity found in women in SHG less than national average. Addictions and Domestic violence in SHGs women found less than national average.
