Abstract: In a remote tribal village of Kandhamal District of Orissa, where there there are visible signs of empowerment of women due to the formation of SHG in the village. The confidence level of women, who are illiterate, has gone up substantially and the process has changed the man-woman equation. In economic terms, women are now able to help their counterparts during agricultural season. This has helped to reduce the role of traders in purchasing the products of the village and the relevance of money lenders in the village.
