This research paper explores the role of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in empowering community members, enhancing their standard of living, and addressing the various challenges faced by both beneficiary and non-beneficiary members. Utilizing quantitative data from surveys conducted within the study area, the research analyzes factors such as financial inclusion, social empowerment, income generation, and access to healthcare. The findings indicate that SHGs significantly empower members through improved social awareness and financial access, with Likert scale scores averaging above 60 for these parameters. However, critical gaps in training, access to government schemes, and financial services are identified, underscoring areas needing strategic improvements. This study contributes to the understanding of SHGs' impacts and offers insights into targeted interventions that could enhance their effectiveness in community development and member empowerment.
