Abstract [English]

India can at present, boast of having the largest micro finance programme in the world. In this regard SHGs are playing a predominant role in achieving children’s health, education and community development. The SHGs have become the delivery channel for micro credit. They have effectively and successfully demonstrated that poverty reduction and empowerment of rural poor, especially of women, can really be achieved. The present study is an attempt to analyze how community empowerment and empowerment of women through SHGs is achieved in the study area. And also the role and performance of SHGs in promoting women empowerment in Mysore district in Karnataka.
