SHG as an Effective Approach to Women Empowerment
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Economics and Finance (IOSR-JEF) - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 5
Abstract
All round development of a nation would be possible only when women are considered as equal partners in progress with men, as women are the integral part of every economy. Today women empowerment is one of the most vibrant issues in the sector of social development. Empower of women is the process of upliftment of economic, social and political status of women, traditionally underprivileged in the society. It is the process of guarding women against all form of violence. Microfinance enables the women to save, to improve their confidence, to take decisions, to uplift the status and to improve household security. Rapid progress in SHG formation has been turned into an empowerment movement among women across the country. Formation of women SHG is not ultimately a project of micro credit but an empowerment process of women. This process would not only give benefit to the individual but also for the family and community through the collective action for development.
