Abstract :

It is widely recognized that, apart from managing households and bearing children, rural women bring income from productive activities ranging from traditional work in the agricultural activities to working in factories or running small and petty business. They have also proven that, they can be better entrepreneurs and development managers in any kind of human development activities. Therefore, it is important and utmost necessary to make rural women empowerment there by help them in taking decision to enable them to be in the central part of any human development processes. Women's Empowerment is a process, where by women are able to organize themselves to increase their own self reliance, to asset their independent right to make choices and to control resources, which will assist in challenging and eliminating their own subordination. The goal of women empowerment is to address issues relating to women's subordination and inequality. Hence, it is a process, where women are able to change from a state of powerlessness (I Cannot) to a state of collective self-confidence (We can). The women empowerment through self help groups would lead to benefits not only to the individual women but also the family and community as a whole through collective action for development. Empowering women is not just for meeting their economic needs but also for more holistic social development.
