Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to  asses the economic impact of Self Help Groups as a development model for the poor in Yaraganahalli Panchayat, Mysore. We therefore seek answers to questions “What is the role of SHGs in improving the socio economic development of the poor? SHGs improve the social acceptance of women at the family and community level; Did participation in the SHG enhance the economic and social capacity of the poor and hence uplift the national poverty alleviation effort?” In order to produce adequate response to the above posed questions, both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies were employed. Data gathered from various groups of respondents was analyzed and summarized.
