SOCIO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SCHEDULED TRIBES WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS THROUGH SELF HELP GROUPS IN TAMILNADU: A VIEW

Abstract

Entrepreneurs are widely regarded as one of the most important contributors to the economic development of a civilization. Entrepreneurs have long been credited with kicking off and maintaining socioeconomic development. Women's entrepreneurship is a relatively new notion in India. Women have become more aware of their rights and circumstances, and have entered various spheres of business. They have built successful company empires of their own. They contribute to the growth of the economy and the improvement of scheduled tribes' socio-economic situations. Women's empowerment is a priority for the Indian government, and several schemes have been implemented to help women entrepreneurs succeed. Women's participation in the workforce is increasing in India as the country's literacy rate rises. In some Indian states, the concept of Self Help Groups (SHGs) has proven to be a boon for rural women. It has improved not only their nancial situation but also their social standing. This paper also provides an overview of the work of self-help groups on scheduled tribes (SHGs) in Tamil Nadu. This article focuses on a variety of themes relating to women entrepreneurs in India, including their issues, challenges, and future prospects.
