Abstract
The state of Bihar in India is home to a large population living below
the poverty line. In order to address this pressing issue, Self-Help Groups
(SHGs) have emerged as an effective tool for poverty alleviation and
sustainable development. SHGs are community-based organizations that provide
members with financial services, training, and support to improve their
economic status. This study aims to explore the role played by SHGs in reducing
poverty and promoting sustainable development in Bihar. The research
methodology includes both qualitative and quantitative techniques such as surveys,
interviews, focus group discussions, and secondary data analysis. The findings
highlight that SHGs have significantly contributed towards empowering
marginalized communities through various interventions such as microcredit
loans, capacity building workshops, skill training programs, and
income-generating activities. These initiatives have enabled individuals
particularly women to start small-scale businesses or invest in agriculture
leading to increased household income.
