Abstract: Measuring household resilience significantly contributes to developing community resiience. This study explores the impact of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) on household resilience- measured using a household’s financial, physical, natural, human and social capital. A comparative analysis shows that non-SHG households possess more financial, physical and natural capital, which is inherently tied to the socioeconomic and demographic profile of households. Association with SHGs enhances human and social capital by improving households’ education, skills and capabilities, thereby increasing resilience. The study concludes that expanding SHGs through policy support can strengthen community resilience by enhancing household capabilities and social connections.
