Abstract: The society is male dominated and finance is also controlled by men. When financial freedom is detained from women then their social and political freedom are also detained. Governments around the world gave many social programs especially for women to develop but male dominated society has given a check in reaching these programs to women. The major hurdles for any women to develop economically are education, participation in economic activity and finally return. Micro-finance through SHGs made a small change in improving financial condition of the women. The sample respondents of the present empirical study accepted that their financial condition is improved but it is not enough. Even after becoming the members of SHGs, women could not affordable to durables. They exercised household decisions in festivals and purchases. It may be concluded that women require encouragement at family level and opportunities at society level in order to develop economically. Key words: SHGs, microfinance, women empowerment and poverty alleviation
