Abstract

The vital objectives of 10th Five Year Plan were equitable, sustainable and inclusive growth. This actually was prompted by the revelation that growth and development process in the country has been exclusive. Social exclusion is the societal and institutional process wherein different groups of people or communities are excluded from full participation in socio-economic activities. The exclusion has its roots in the caste, communities, economic inequities, and also in gender. In any excluded group the most marginalized is the women community. The third sector includes Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Not For Profit Organizations and other Voluntary Organization (VOs). These organizations have been working day andnight, towards highlighting the plight of women and also in bringing them to the mainstream. In this context, the present paper attempts to highlight the concept of social exclusion with special reference to women. It also examines the role of third sector in underscoring the issue of social exclusion of women and bringing them into mainstream through Self Help Groups in the villages of Periyapatna Taluk in Mysore district.
