Abstract

This study was focus on women empowerment in Madurai district of Tamil Nadu. Entrepreneurship is an important aspect in our country's progress. Women entrepreneurs, as well as men entrepreneurs, will contribute to the development of a nation. If just men developed this country, it would result in monoliteral growth, whereas we need bilateral development, which includes women's empowerment. Swami Vivekananda said, "Just as a bird cannot fly with only one wing, a nation cannot advance if the women are left behind." As a result, entrepreneurship is the better alternative for women empower herself. Self-Help Groups are small, voluntary associations of people, primarily women, who come together to address common issues and improve their socio-economic status. These groups are built on the principles of mutual help, solidarity, and collective responsibility. The concept of SHGs in India has its roots in the microfinance movement, where the focus is on providing financial assistance to the underprivileged, particularly women, to help them gain financial independence. By pooling their resources, SHG members engage in various income-generating activities, access credit facilities, and participate in skill development programs. This, in turn, fosters self-reliance and contributes to their overall empowerment.
