Self-Help Groups in Uttar Pradesh: Issues and Challenges

Author: Jain, M.K. & Mittal S.

Abstract:
Today, the self-help group (S.H.G.) is one of the most critical matters of the twenty-first century. These are primarily designed to empower women in low-income socio-economic areas. In our daily lives, we can see self-help groups are insufficient to empower women since they are small voluntary associations of less than twenty people, either registered or unregistered, preferably from the same and lower socio-economic background. In India, S.H.G. has become the main objective of eradicating poverty and uplifting women. This movement has gained momentum worldwide, especially in India, due to the uncounted emergence of community-based N.G.O. Although, working these community-based N.G.O. is a significant challenge. The study is based purely on secondary sources. This article aims to raise awareness of the problems that S.H.G.s face in Uttar Pradesh and offer solutions

Keywords:Self-Help Groups, Community Based N.G.O.s, Socioeconomic Conditions.
