Self-Help Groups have been mainly started to boost up their income and standard of living. Self-Help Groups are getting much importance, as they create awareness about self-employment, savings, education, health and family welfare and thereby make people especially women more empowered. Throughout history, women have collectively struggled against direct and indirect barriers to their social, political and economic problems. By the end of the 19th century, women had begun to organize themselves. Gradually such organizations they took up a number of causes relevant to women such as education, working conditions, health, sanitation, housing and the habit of savings. Women’s organizations began struggling for women’s right in the early part of the 20th century.
