Abstract
Self Help Group is an innovative organizational setup for upliftment and welfare of women. Today, the self help group movement is increasingly accepted as an innovation in the field of rural credit. There is need to impart vocational training to the women to form a Self Help Group for becoming entrepreneur and a skilled worker. The story involves the hard work of ten likeminded women of village Bhagwanpura, Samrala who, being landless, decided to earn their livelihood by forming a Self Help Group. Started with the vision of Smt. Charanjeet Kaur, they entered into the business of making bags with small amount of money. Gradually, with the help of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Samrala, they have expanded their work to making bags, quilts, decoration items, utility articles, uniforms, bee veils etc and after paying all the loans, now each member is earning nearly 7500/- per month.
