Economic Empowerment of Tribal Women through Self Help Groups in Jharkhand

Tribal women in Jharkhand have faced socioeconomic marginalization from ages. Self Help Groups (SHGs), as grassroots institutions of development, have emerged as an effective tool to empower these women economically. This study aims to assess the impact of SHGs on the economic empowerment of tribal women in Jharkhand by analyzing income generation, savings behavior, decision-making power, and access to financial resources. The findings suggest a positive correlation between SHG participation and enhanced economic stability, although challenges persist in areas such as market access and financial literacy.
