Abstract

Indian history in all its evidences considered women as source of power, blessing and wealth. They considered women as goddess and worshipped her for all prosperity but still this gender is known to be most downtrodden and exploited even .after passing of many centuries the condition is stagnant. Instead of endless social and legal efforts the section of society is still unable to make way for better life. This article presents a very tiny idea for women empowerment through own efforts. The concept of self-help groups is discussed and its importance in empowerment of women is enumerated. This is defined as a way for upliftment of female section of backward society.
