The process of empowermentamong women can be institutionalized through Self Help Groups (SHG). The SHGs are characterized by a focusedattention on providing employment opportunities by imparting training in order to generate both income as well asemployment. Today the SHGs are the largest Micro– Finance (MF) programme in the world. In spite of the speedyincrease in the number of self-help groups, the full potential of utilizing self-help groups remains unexploited due tosome problems faced by the members of self help groups. The results of the study reported that production problemswere found to be the most serious problem perceived by the members of three self help groups with the averagepercentage mean score of 62.5. It was followed by the family and marketing problems with the average percentagemean score of 58.88 and 50.55 respectively. There is need to overcome these hurdles by providing appropriate facilitieslike provision of good quality raw material, access to latest information, facilitation of loan, strong networking withother groups etc. for smooth functioning of self help groups.
