- Abstract
In the context of a woman's development, empowerment is a strategy for recognizing, engaging, and eliminating barriers from her path so that she can have more control over her life and environment. It is a diverse, active process that should help women reach their full potential and strength in every aspect of life. India hopes for a time when Indian women are self-sufficient and autonomous. It is unfortunate that women's actual and potential social roles have been neglected for generations due to inertia, ignorance, and conservatism, preventing them from making their proper contribution to societal progress. Additionally, they are denied their due status and access to developmental resources and services, which adds to their marginalize, as a result of inaccurate and/or incomplete information regarding their contributions to family and society. Women must be given more power by expanding their awareness, education, abilities, and technology use, which will aid in the society' s overall development. Self Help Groups (SHGs) are an idea that is proving to be a useful tool for the empowerment of women. SHG is a group of rural poor people, mostly women, that provides microcredit for people to start their own businesses. A workable solution for empowering women is the development of entrepreneurial skills and income-generating ventures. It generates income and offers flexible working hours in accordance with the needs of housewives. The current goal is financial independence. Engaging in income-generating activities contributes to women's overall empowerment. This particular research was carried out with the special aim of investigating the empowerment of women through entrepreneurial activities of self-help groups.
