Abstract

Women empowerment is a critical aspect of sustainable development, and Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have emerged as effective platforms for promoting women's economic and social empowerment. This article examines the role of SHG members in empowering women in the state of Telangana, India. With a special focus on Telangana, we explore the significance of SHGs in enhancing women's financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, decision-making power, and overall socio-economic well-being. By analyzing the success stories, challenges faced, and government initiatives, this article highlights the transformative impact of SHGs on women's lives in Telangana. The findings underscore the need for continued support, capacity building, and policy interventions to further promote women empowerment through SHG members in the state.
