Abstract
India having one of the largest youth population in the world is facing the problem of youth employment and need that extra thrust to integrate self made entrepreneurs into the economic mainstream.
The rural youth have potentials and abilities but they need a motivational force and opportunity to express themselves. As a result in recent years, Self Help Groups are emerging as alternative development strategy to promote the common interest of weak and vulnerable sections of the society. So the study on Capacity Building and Strengthening Self-Concept of members of Youth SHGs: An Experimental Development on Pantnagar University Campus of District Udham Singh Nagar was carried out.
The sample size of 30 members was taken from three SHGs (Each group having 10 members) for the study. The results reveal that after imparting trainings to the SHGs, the self-concept of members is raised. The findings reveal that youth require such training programmes which can improve their skill in different income generating activities, capacity building and strengthening self-concept.
