Abstract

Self-Help Groups (SHGs) help tribal women become stronger socially and financially. This study, done in Chakapad Block of Kandhamal District, Odisha, looks at how SHGs support tribal women by giving them jobs, money security, property, and confidence. The study is based on information from 60 SHG members. It shows that after joining SHGs, women saved more money, got better job opportunities, and owned more things. They also became independent, took part in making decisions, and got better healthcare and banking services. The study shows that SHGs help women get equal rights and improve their financial condition. It concludes that support from the government and social groups is needed to make SHGs stronger, ensure steady incomes, and help tribal women grow.
