The industrial sector holds considerable sway over the global economy and plays a pivotal role in the propagation of climate change. This research investigates the significant significance of Self Help Groups (SHGs) within the framework of industrial development and their contribution to the mitigation of climate change. Industrial operations play a significant role in the generation of greenhouse gas emissions, hence emphasizing the imperative of embracing sustainable methods. This study employs a mixed-method methodology, incorporating quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews with self-help group (SHG) members, industrial stakeholders, and experts. The research investigates the diverse endeavors undertaken by SHGs, such as the promotion of environmentally friendly technologies and the adoption of sustainable industrial practices. Advocacy has a significant role in the context at hand. The research study involved a sample size of 200 participants. The statistical analysis for our research was performed utilizing the SPSS 22.0 software program. And this research has been targeted at Gwalior and Datia industrial areas or Self Help Groups (SHGs). The main objective of our research is to investigate the extent to which Self-Help Groups (SHGs) contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, preservation of finite natural resources, and promotion of the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies in various industries. Findings reveal a strong connection between self-help groups and climate changes in industrial development, as well as strong evidence that the former significantly affect the latter.
