The purpose of this study is to evaluate how Self-Help Groups (SHGs) affect women's empowerment and the enhancement of family income in rural communities. Particularly in rural India, self-help groups (SHGs) have become a well-liked paradigm for women's economic empowerment and community-driven development. This study examines how SHGs help women become more economically independent by improving their access to resources and offering them social and financial assistance. The study concludes that SHGs are essential for empowering women, raising their social standing, and boosting household income by examining case studies and actual data from rural areas. Nonetheless, there are still several issues with these groups' viability, leadership, and access to financial resources.
