Women empowerment is emerging as a key challenge for all the communities of a country specially India. In a number of countries, women have to struggle for their rights and living values. To beat such issues various steps have been taken by private, public and non-governmental organizations. A Self Help Group is one of these steps, which is radically contributing in the way of women empowerment. Self Help Groups give opportunities to the poor women to manage their lives through savings along with running small-scale businesses. Numerous studies have been conducted and results show that the Self Help Group is crucial for rural finance services and is also helpful in enhancing work opportunities.
