Abstract

Rural development is a very dynamic process that aims to enhance the socioeconomic, political, environmental, and general well-being of the underprivileged residents of rural areas. In India, where more than 70% of the population resides in rural areas, the idea of rural development assumes considerable relevance. Self Help Groups are community volunteer organizations that come together to address issues like poverty, illiteracy, violence, etc. Women coming together for a common cause are a big reason why self-help groups are so well known. These organizations are particularly active in rural communities and actively support rural development. Both registered and unregistered, the government provides financial assistance to these organizations and supports their growth so they can build various industries that would help rural areas thrive.
