In this paper, a model for development of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) has been presented in perspective of India to ensure the Economic and Social development of the country and addressing, simultaneously, some of the major challenges being faced by India. Adequate microfinancing to the SHGs and developing entrepreneurship among its members may help in achieving several targets like poverty alleviation, women empowerment, employment generation, homogeneous development etc. If planned properly, the SHGs can become an instrument for all round and all-inclusive development of India or any other similarly placed developing country. SHGs may also play an import role in the endeavour of India to become a five trillion economy, to achieve self-sustainability and to attain the Sustainable Development Goals.

Microfinance is the most experimented philosophy in today’s era. It has infact become a strategic tool for financial inclusion as well. The quantitative growth of microfinance in India mainly through Self Help Groups (SHG) is quiet evident from various studies and reports. Self Help Groups are emerging as a popular vehicle of microfinance. Substantial majority of these groups are women SHGs. In India of more than 61 lakhs of SHGs formed under the NABARD’s SHG-Bank Linkage programme, almost 83% are women SHGs. They are used largely for poverty alleviation. However, various studies reveal that SHGs can supplement empowerment equally. SHGs are providing financial orientation and benefits to the participants. Obviously, this leads to economic empowerment of the members. In addition the group mechanism is assumed to be useful for social empowerment also. The dynamics of this philosophy is studied recently with some positive results. An attempt is made to understand the impact of SHGs on women empowerment. The study also focuses on examining the role of certain factors (influencers) in affecting empowerment.

The objective of current study is to identify different dimensions of women empowerment, problems and challenges such as perceived tension of individual self -help group member in the process of women empowerment, and suggestions to improve women empowerment in the context of India. The 351 responses were collected via stratified random sampling from members of self -help groups, and an exploratory principal component analysis is undertaken to identify the number of components that underlie the women empowerment. Further, a confirmatory factor analysis is used to confirm the factors in the study. The findings indicate five broad dimensions (i.e. economic, political, social, legal, psychological), four different types of perceived individual tensions (i.e., economic, social, legal, technology-oriented learning), and four significant categories of capacity building measures (i.e. training on governance, technology-driven livelihood support, promoting networking, social justice & harmony) of women empowerment.

This article analyses the principles and processes of a state-sponsored intervention to deal with gender-based violence in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in south India. Anchored within a poverty-alleviation programme, this intervention is implemented through Social Action Committees (SACs) which are small groups of women drawn from women’s collectives of self-help groups (SHGs). In this article, we critically explicate three key themes that we found to be characterising the philosophy and processes of the SAC intervention: restorative justice, psychosocial support, and engagement with men.
