Women empowerment has been considered as one of the important determinants in achieving the goal of gender equality. Various interventions are been implemented to facilitate empowerment of women. Amongst them are the two popular interventions Women Self Help Groups and Women Cooperatives. Most of the works that are undertaken are on the impact of SHGs on women empowerment and are uncritical and appreciable in nature. There are few countable studies that are been made to study the impact of women cooperatives on women empowerment. The literature review suggests no efforts have been made to compare these various interventions and their impact on the women empowerment. Also no past study discloses which the better initiative among the two is. Thus this study is an earnest attempt to understand the comparative impact of two different interventions i.e women SHGs and Women cooperatives and their role in empowering the rural women on various dimensions.
