Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have been a significant social innovation to aid the impoverished in recent years, particularly those founded by women. There is no question that SHGs have the power to empower women to take the initiative and become independent and self-employed. In addition, they can serve as a forum for discussing social concerns and issues about women if they are sustainable. They may significantly contribute to women's empowerment to flourish and prosper in society. The diverse social and emotional problems that modern society faces may be handled by women in self-help groups, and they can contribute to the development of a strong and stable social structure. The first national conference of women, held in November 1981, promoted the idea that the country's general growth required the development of women entrepreneurs. SHGs formulation, performance and sustainability would be mandatory to reach such a goal.
