Women's socioeconomic independence was significantly impacted by their involvement in self-help groups (SHGs). By "women's emancipation," we imply a procedure wherein women actively question traditional conventions in order to successfully advance their well-being. In Bihar state, this research attempted to tackle the issue of women's emancipation via self-help groups. Over 1 million Didis (recipients) are continually working to improve their lives by engaging with SHGs since SHGs nowadays are supporting women's capability in developing financial inclusivity, constructing community institutions, and associating with connected activities. Financing must be accessible to those required in India in order to break the pattern of deprivation and enable women to make significant contributions to the nation's inclusive progress. India's current rural credit structure doesn't meet the needs of the poorest people who want to move forward
