Volume : II, Issue : VI, July - 2012 Women Empowerment Through Self Help Groups-a Study With Special Reference To Thiruvannamalai District B. Rajamani and M. Julius Prasad Published By : Laxmi Book Publication 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. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : B. Rajamani and M. Julius Prasad, (2012).
