    Women's empowerment is a worldwide concern. The global SHG movement intended to systematically empower marginalised grass-root level women through awareness, revenue generation, and capacity building. Nowadays, rural women are also conscious of their wages, so they organise themselves into groups and begin saving a small amount on a regular basis. It benefits not only them, but also the democratic, social, and cultural domains of existence. SHGs offer a platform for women so that they can engage with one another, appreciate their shared concerns, engage themselves in entrepreneurial activities and uplift themselves. SHG seeks to increase women's quality of life through self-sufficiency, capability development, and community sustainability by instilling in them the entrepreneurial spirit.
