SHGs are small groups formed by a group of rural women informally to generate support and economic benefit, sense of responsibility among themselves and these groups not only create the financial inclusion but also up bring the social participation of women which in turn increase the empowerment of women and decrease the social exclusion at a larger extent. Thus, this research paper focuses on the Women Self Help Groups which serves for the empowerment of women through the Micro Finance and Income Generating activities in the rural areas of Vellore, India. © Serials Publications.
