The paper utilizes statistical technique and adequate sample size chiefly as an empowerment tool to uplift the downtrodden. It was uniquely established that Self Help Groups (SHGS) in India have been significantly successful in achieving the objective of economic development of the weaker sections of the society as well as play a significant role in improving the incomes of the weaker sections, thereby ensuring food security besides improving their standard of living.
