A women entrepreneur is a recent phenomenon of late 1960’s. Entrepreneurship can help women’s economic independence and improve their social status. SHG acts as a media for the advancement of saving habit among the women by encouraging their involvement in entrepreneurial activities. They augment the fairness of women’s status as participants, decision-makers and beneficiaries in the democratic, economic, social and cultural spheres of building empowerment.
