520			_aThrough a survey of 2,400 self-help group members, it is seen that mature SHGs that are more than eight years old have improved the socio-economic status of women across different geographical and agroclimatic zones in Rajasthan when compared to young groups that are less than one year old. This is evidenced by several markers of women empowerment such as the primary responsibility to fetch drinking water, income from livestock, average income and savings, and loans from non-SHG and SHG sources. Recommendations on how SHGs can be utilised as a development strategy to improve the socio-economic status of women and empower them are provided. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/special-articles/self-help-groups-rajasthan.html
