Abstract Group approach has been seen as a great contributing factor for women empowerment in developing countries. It is seen in most regions of India that Self Help Group (SHG) approach is more effective than the other group approaches; this is seen to be very helpful scheme with micro-credit possibilities for the women from poor economic background. Microcredit facility through self-help groups (SHGs) has grown as a facilitator to reach the rural poor. Women participation in Self Help Groups has created great impact upon the pattern of life of poor women and has empowered them in various stages. Group dynamics means the interaction of forces among group members in a social situation. It is the internal nature of the group as to how they are formed, what their structures and processes are, how they function and affect individual members, other groups and the organization (Van and Schaller, 2008). Therefore, a study was attempted on the dynamics of women self-help groups, their progress system and elements contributing to the sustainability of women's groups, in agronomy and related sectors. Results show that no SHG was non-operational or dropped. It was exciting to note that all the SHG members are working in a synchronized manner with group. There were no failures or non -functioning groups at any stage of SHG or alterations in memberships of the members. Members were continuous and regular, indicating their strength and sustainability of the group.
