Role of Self Help Groups in Achieving Gender Equity at Grassroots Communities in Rural Odisha
Keywords:
Self Help Group, Empowerment, Gender EqualityAbstract
Women’s participation in socio-economic and political activities in India has been historically underwhelming, attributed to their unequal status and the constraints of India’s patriarchal society. Their socio-economic and political presence has yet to catch up with that of other developing nations. The government has made policy frameworks that help emancipate women’s status through economic empowerment and political participation. One such policy provision is the Self Help Group (SHG) which grants sanctions to women to form groups for income-generating activities. This article attempts to understand the impact of SHG on women and society to gain gender equity in grassroots communities in Odisha.
