Scheduled Caste Women Empowerment Through Self–Help Groups

Shekhara Apparaya

Abstract :

Scheduled Castes are deprived castes in the society and as such, they were given reservation in education and  employment. SC women are deprived from both caste and gender as they are exploited by their family members and  society. The reservation in education and employment is of no use for poor and illiterate rural women of scheduled caste. Hence, Self–Help  Groups are formed by these women. The Self–Help Groups have helped to reduce caste barriers and also increasing socio–economic status of  the scheduled caste women in villages. The present study is based on field based survey of 400 scheduled caste women in Kalaburagi district  of Karnataka.
