Abstract: The present study attempted to assess the performance of Fisherwomen's self help groups (SHGs) in Tamil Nadu . Primary data required for the study were collected from 725 fisherwomen SHG members representing 41 SHGs from five coastal villages - Tharuvaikulam, Pazhayakayal and Therespuram in Thoothukudi district and Kootapuli and Uvari in Tirunelveli district - during May –October 2004. The study found the fisherwomen SHGs performing well in availing and repaying microcredit which had contributed to their socio – economic empowerment and to better livelihood conditions.
