Self-Help Groups (SHGs): Empowering Communities
Self-Help Groups are small, community-based organizations formed by individuals with shared socio-economic goals. Typically comprising members from similar backgrounds or facing common challenges, SHGs encourage mutual support, collective decision-making, and resource pooling. These groups often focus on income-generating activities, skill development, and social empowerment. SHGs play a pivotal role in fostering financial independence, especially among women in rural areas, by providing access to microfinance and promoting entrepreneurship. By promoting self-reliance, skill enhancement, and a sense of community, Self-Help Groups contribute significantly to poverty alleviation, gender equality, and overall socio-economic development at the grassroots level.
