Dr. V. Nirmala Devi

Abstract :

 Empowerment of women enabled them to strengthen their economic and social benefits and enable them to lead a standard life in the society. In a country like India where women are treated as ”marginalised population” empowering them is considered as necessary to make them economically strong. The Central and State governments have taken many steps to empower women in the country. The economic activities of women are organised through formation of self help groups and these are given support by the governments by giving loans creating supporting environment to take economic activities. The present study focused to identify demographic profile of members of self help groups in Coimbatore district and study their perception towards social benefits derived by them through the participation of self help groups. The data for the study was collected from the selected sample members with the help of an interview schedule.
