Women are not only a part of the majority of India. They are the base of India. If the base is weak and crumbly, the building might topple. So, to empower this root from within, making them financially independent is the first and foremost step. Giving them the necessary employment as power is the need of the hour. Empowering one woman leads to the empowerment of the whole family. Self-help groups are an integral part of improving the overall well-being of women in India. Women in India are always given a back seat. Self-help groups have played a pivotal role in the upliftment and enhancement of women of rural India. The main aim of the self-help group is to reach the deep crevices of the villages of India and to help the respect deprived women. The women get a chance to come together as a group that may or may not be registered. They help each other by pooling together small savings and loaning that amount to whoever requires that money.
