Abstract [English]

Women are an important part of society. Society cannot be imagined without the existence of women. Various dimensions of the status of women are visible from ancient times to the present. Half the power of the nation lies in the form of women. Various scholars are of the opinion that the progress and prosperity of any nation can be estimated from the status of women there. In fact, women act as good managers since childhood because they manage the unit or institution of the house not only on the basis of their economic condition, social environment, family situation etc., but also present a very good example for management by keeping in mind mutual harmony and stressful situation. The main objective of the present study is to demonstrate women empowerment through self-help groups.

Abstract [Hindi]

महिलाएं समाज का एक महत्वपूर्ण अंग हैं। महिला अस्तित्व के बिना समाज की कल्पना नहीं की जा सकती। प्राचीन काल से वर्तमान तक महिलाओं की स्थिति के विविध आयाम दृष्टिगोचर होते हैं। राष्ट्र की आधी शक्ति तो महिलाओं के रूप में निहित है। विभिन्न विद्वानों का मत है कि किसी भी राष्ट्र की प्रगति व सम्पन्नता का वहां की महिलाओं की स्थिति से अनुमान लगाया जा सकता है। वास्तव में महिलाएँ बचपन से ही एक अच्छे प्रबंधक के रूप में कार्य करती हैं क्योंकि घर रूपी इकाई या संस्था का प्रबन्धन न केवल वे अपनी आर्थिक स्थिति, सामाजिक वातावरण, पारिवारिक परिस्थिति आदि के आधार पर करती हैं, बल्कि आपसी सामन्जस्य और तनावपूर्ण स्थिति को ध्यान में रखकर प्रबंधन के लिए इस काफी अच्छा उदाहरण प्रस्तुत करती हैं। प्रस्तुत अध्ययन का मुख्य उद्देष्य स्वयं सहायता समूह के माध्यम से महिला सषक्तिकरण को प्रदर्शित करना है।
