Women empowerment is one of the burning issues from last few decades. In recent years one of the main missions through which the conditions of women can be improved and empowered is SHGs (self-help groups). The main function of SHGs is to empower poor rural women socially and economically. Many studies have been done at national and international level on women empowerment through SHGs. The present paper of review of literature analyses the detailed review of available literature from secondary sources related to the SHGs in socio-economic empowerment of rural women in India from 2010-2020 in a chronological order.
