- The document discusses economic empowerment of women through self-help groups (SHGs) in Kolli Hills, Tamil Nadu. It analyzes profiles of tribal women respondents and their participation and awareness of SHG functions.
- The study found that most respondents were between 36-45 years old, had primary education, were married, lived in nuclear families with less than 4 members. Experience in SHGs and leadership positions were associated with higher socioeconomic status.
- Awareness of SHG activities was also linked to greater socioeconomic empowerment. The study concludes that while SHGs can empower tribal women, more work is needed to systematically involve all tribal women in Kolli Hills through SHGs.
Economic empowerment of women through shg in kolli hillsRAVICHANDIRANG
Empowerment, as a social process has challenged the fundamental imbalances of power distribution and relations. It was redistribution of power within and between families, society’s process aiming at social equality which could be achieved through disempowering some structures, systems and institutions. Social empowerment has promoted sustainable rural structure for dissemination of knowledge about health, nutrition, literacy, education, freedom and opportunities for realizing women’s potentialities and adoption of new
agricultural practices. The present paper discussed about the profile of the respondents, Participat ion of Women in SHG functions and awareness towards SHGs.
Rural poverty persists in India due to limited access to resources like land, water, credit, and technology as well as low levels of education. Government programs have taken different approaches to promoting rural livelihoods and reducing poverty, such as supporting local governments and integrated development agencies. They focus on increasing incomes and building assets by improving natural resource management, supporting self-help groups, and expanding access to services and markets. However, widespread poverty remains a challenge, with over 200 million rural people below the poverty line.
The document discusses women empowerment in India through social, educational, and economic development. It defines women empowerment and discusses the need for empowering women in India, including giving them decision making power and access to education and employment. It outlines various government programs and schemes aimed at women empowerment, including Beti Bachao Beti Padhao for the survival, protection, and education of the girl child, One Stop Centers and women helplines to support women affected by violence, and various schemes for rehabilitation and recognition of women's achievements.
Impact of Microcredit on Socio-Cultural Status of Members of Wshgs; A Study i...iosrjce
Odisha is a mineral rich state in India but the economy of the state mainly dependents on
agricultural. Majority of the population belongs to rural areas; therefore rural sector is the main source of
economic development and manpower in the state. The western part of the state is rich with industrialization
whereas the eastern part of the state is rich with highly futile lands. In eastern part one of the costal district is
Jagatsinghpur. Development of rural areas is essential for the enhancement of overall economy and for the
betterment of rural communities. The aim of the present study was to find the impact of microcredit on sociocultural
status of the WSHG members in rural areas of district Jagatsinghpur. The universe for the present
study was all WSHG of the said district. The Sample of 187 respondents was selected from the targeted
population using the simple random sampling technique. A survey was conducted to carry out the study in which
a close ended structured questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to draw the results
from the study. Through descriptive analysis, the study clearly demonstrated that microcredit has played a
positive role in improving the socio cultural status of members of WSHGs. In this regard the study observed that
microcredit played the positive role in changing and improving the women empowerment in the state.

Economic Contribution of Women in Self Help Groups: Village Level Evidence fr...iosrjce
Women in Self Help Groups (SHGs) have made their mark in the rural economy in a quite nontraditional
way. This paper examines the economic contribution of SHG women drawing on a field survey
conducted in 20 villages by canvassing a structured schedule among 150 sample respondents of two blocks of
Balasore district in Odisha, India. The findings show that women in SHG’s have made a significantly positive
contribution to employment, income, expenditure and saving at the household level. An increase in the demand
for SHG products is required for improving productivity of women and enhancing their economic contribution
in a sustainable way. A reorientation in policy is suggested for generating awareness, upgrading skills and
expanding markets in order to augment their contribution and raise their empowerment level for the benefit of
the households as well as for transforming the rural economy in a big way.
IMPACT ANALYSIS OF WELFARE SCHEMES OF WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT: WITH REFERENCE TO ...IAEME Publication
Empowerment of women essentially mean improving the social, political and
economic status of women, especially the traditional underprivileged one. It means
creating an environment where women are free from any kind of physical, mental
abuse, exploitation, and prejudice that they are the most vulnerable section in the
society. Recognising the importance of women in the economic growth of the nation,
the Government of India along with State Governments has been taking several efforts
since post-independence period to uplift women from their conditions in general.
Attempts were made by the Government to address the issues through employment,
empowerment, labour force participation, education, gender equality and
entrepreneurship. The focus of Government is progressively shifting towards
promoting women entrepreneurship to motivate women to participate in the economic
activities. The study examines the perspective of women who are getting benefitted
through various government schemes implemented in assistance with nongovernmental organizations. The impact observed is in terms of such as - financial
assistance, training facilities, infrastructure and its awareness, motivation,
confidence, increase in the rate of women opting for entrepreneurship. Studies have
shown that such initiatives are boosting self-confidence, increasing the purchasing
power and decision making power, leading to their empowerment. It, therefore,
addresses the economic, socio-cultural, inter-personal, psychological, political and
legal domains of empowerment. The study has been conducted in three selected
village of Maharashtra. Data was collected from various NGO, Women entrepreneurs
and women beneficiaries associated with various Self-Help Group’s (SHG’s) in the
Kanave, Shahapur (Dist. Thane) and Vengaon, Karjat (Dist. Raigad) regions. The
Mixed method approach has been adopted for analysis of this research. Primary data
was collected from personal interviews with well-structured questionnaires and focus
group discussions in both the areas.

“Growth with Social Justice” has been the basic objective of the development planning in India since independence.In order to achieve these objectives,Government of India has launched several welfare schemes and programme for needy section of society. Different segment of population got benefitted by these welfare schemes, which have led to significant changes. Some of these changes are distinctly visible – especially in the economic sphere with the adoption of new technologies, diversified production, and sophisticated management. Changes have also taken place in the social sphere – with affirmative action for disadvantaged communities and with women enjoying by and large more freedoms than ever before. This seminar attempts to critically analyze the welfare efforts in India and how the changes occur over a period of time in these welfare programmes with special focus on poverty alleviation programme and women empowerment programmes.

Migration Report of Jharkhand
Migration and urbanization are two important inter-related phenomena of economic development. If channelized properly, it has the potential of societal transformation. Otherwise, it can be not only counter-productive for the societal harmony but also disastrous for the long term economic development. The historical experiences have proved that process of migration is unstoppable in modern times. The migrant workers are key force behind rising contribution of urban conglomerations to India’s GDP. Migrants are indispensable but mostly invisible key actors in cities’ development. Rural migrants in urban spaces are socially mobile, culturally flexible and economically aspiring people. Migrants are an important component of social dynamism and material development of the society. They can also be tools of cultural amalgamation and innovation. Yet, they are most vulnerable to economic exploitation and social stereotyping.
The contribution of migrants to the GDP of the country goes unnoticed. It is estimated that the migrants contribute no less than 10% to the country’s GDP.1 Many other positive as well as potential impact through the migration process remains unrecognized. According to Census 2001, in India, internal migrants account for as large as 309 million, which was about 28% of the then total population. More recent numbers, as revealed by NSSO (2007-08), show that there are about 326 million internal migrants in India, i.e. nearly 30% of the total population. Almost 70% of all the migrants are women, the fact often forgotten and lost in the data on migration.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Abstract: Tribal women are fifty percent of tribal population. However, tribal women are
exclusion, vulnerable and in-accessible to the poverty schemes targeted for their well-being.
The main objective of this study is to determine the utilization pattern of poverty alleviation
programs and its impact on satisfaction level of tribal women. As per the methodology of the
study, primary data had been collected from tribal women perception on awareness of poverty
alleviation programs. The primary data was analyzed by using statistical tools like one-way
ANOVA and regression analysis. The results of this study indicated that age group had an
impact on tribal women empowerment. The literacy rate is also increasing and poverty is
consistently declining among tribal women with poverty alleviation and skill development
programs implemented by government in Telangana State.
Key words: Tribal Women Welfare, Poverty Alleviation Programs, Skill Development.
Introduction
Empowerment of tribal women had become an important concern for overall wellbeing of the
society. Government had been developing strategies for poverty alleviation among the tribal
women. In this present paper the empowerment of tribal women with implementation of various
poverty alleviation programs had been made with empirical investigation. The Government of
India declared the year 2001 as 'Women's Empowerment Year' and a lot has been and is being
done at national and international levels since then. Women empowerment is an active process
enabling women to realize their full identity and power in all spheres of life and tribal women is
not an exception. (Gnanadhas et al, 2011). Eradication of poverty remains a major challenge of
planned economic development. Experiences of different states with economic growth and
poverty reduction have been so varied that it is difficult to offer any general policy prescription.
There are states that followed the path of high agricultural growth and succeeded in reducing
poverty (Punjab and Haryana) and states that focused on human resource development and
reduced poverty (Kerala). There have been states that implemented land reforms with vigour,
empowered the panchayats, mobilized the poor and implemented poverty-alleviation programs
effectively (West Bengal) and states that brought about reduction in poverty by direct public
intervention in the form of public distribution of food grains (Andhra Pradesh).The Mission for
Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas (MEPMA) is a Government of Telangana Society
forming part of Department of Municipal Administration & Urban Development. Poverty
alleviation programs targeted for tribal women still to reach many pockets to accomplish
desired goals for sustainable development.

Government distributed 2,524 acres of land to 959 Dalits spending Rs.94 crore in the first year.
Special Central Assistance to Tribal Sub-Scheme (SCA to TSS) is 100% grant from
Government of India (since 1977-78). It is charged to Consolidated Fund of India (except grants
for North Eastern States, a voted item) and is an additive to State Plan funds and efforts for
Tribal Development. This grant is utilized for economic development of Integrated Tribal
Development Project (ITDP), Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Modified Area

Development Approach (MADA), Clusters, Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) and
dispersed tribal population. The pre-matric scholarships, post-matric scholarships, fellowship
schemes for ST students, central sector scheme, grant-in-aid and vocational training are
provided to tribal people and majority of these programs provide assistance to tribal women.
The wellbeing of SC and ST tribal women is ensured by both the state and central government
by allocating funds for various programs such as;
Institutional Support for Development & Marketing of Tribal Products / Produce (Central
Sector Scheme)
Mechanism for Marketing of Minor Forest Produce (MFP) through Minimum Support
Price (MSP) and Development of Value Chain for MFP’ as a measure of social safety
for MFP gatherers
Fellowship (earlier known as RGNF) scheme for st students
Scheme of Strengthening Education among ST Girls in Low Literacy Districts
Scheme of Grant-in-aid to voluntary organizations working for the welfare of Scheduled
Tribes
Vocational Training in Tribal Areas
Support to Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs) and Tribal Festivals, Research Information
and Mass Education;
The above poverty alleviation programs targeted to bring change in the lives of tribal
women. However the awareness, implementation, its impact, perception and the scale of skills
has to be monitored time to time for taking necessary steps for further effectiveness skill
development through poverty alleviation programs. The present study is focused in that
direction. Keeping in view the problem and to draw the inferences from the designed objectives
the following available review of literature has gone through to find out the gaps.
Literature Review
Reddy et al (2016) had explained that structural changes have been taking with many poverty
alleviation programs launched by both central and state governments in India. Dokur village in
Telangana state had transformed and introduced green revolution technologies. Initially
government had considered about alleviation of poverty and later started assisted rural people
by providing investment for agriculture and farming. Lal (2016) had mentioned that dimensions
of women empowerment are cultural, political, social and economic. Educational facilities are to
be improved in the tribal areas to eradicate illiteracy. In this context, government schools
should be strengthened as tribal children mostly depend on them, school drop outs be
discouraged through incentives and by creating interest in education. Discrimination between
sons and daughter should be reduced through counseling.
Pawar (2016) had argued that existing banking system could not lead to the
development of weaker sections of the society. The tribal population in the State of Telangana
and in the country as a whole is the most deprived and vulnerable community that faces severe
economic exclusion. Although certain constitutional safeguards are provided, there has been
no economic, Social and political mobility across these communities. Majority of the population
approximately 74 percent are residing in rural areas and most of them belong to weaker
sections of the society. Gangadhar et al (2017) had found through empirical investigation that
microfinance programs had improved health awareness among rural women. The participation
microfinance programs had improved the economic condition of tribal women in Karimnagar
district of Telangana state. Vadlakonda (2017) had explained that poverty of rural women had
been avoided to a large extent with Indira Kranthi Patakam in Telangana. The self-help groups
(SHG) groups were established only in the rural areas with one or more groups were formed
with rural poor women. The groups were usually responsive to a perceived need. Such groups
have been formed around a specific productive activity and often they have promoted savings
among their members and used the pooled resources to meet the emergency needs of the
members of the group including consumption needs. Malothu (n.d) had explained that Self Help
Groups (SHGs) have great importance in the process of participatory development and
empowerment of women. Women SHGs in Telangana have become successful in bringing the
tribal women in the main stream of decision making. SHGs are also a feasible organized setup
to expand micro credit to the rural tribal women in Telangana and encourage them to enter into
entrepreneurial ventures.

Research Gap
Majority of the studies revealed that the investments on agriculture and farming productive
activity, micro credit facilities to the rural tribal for promotion savings and how the size of tribal
participation in microfinance programs and also focused on the economic exclusions of tribal.
However impact of poverty alleviation programs, utilization pattern, and implementation of
schemes were not focused with this background the researcher taken up the present study to
find out ground realities.
Objectives of the Study
To examine the utilization pattern of poverty alleviation programs by tribal women.
To study the impact of poverty alleviation programs on satisfaction level of tribal women.
To analyze the various poverty alleviation programs implemented by Government.
Methodology
Primary data had been collected from tribal women. The women participated in the survey are
also members of self-help groups in Warangal district in Telangana State. The sample size of

used for selecting the respondents to the study. The data had been collected through closed
ended questionnaire and the questions were translated into local language and the responses
are marked on the measurement scale. The first part of the questionnaire collected
demographic profile of the respondents and the second part consists of items which are
measured on five-point Likert type scale. The statistical tools like ANOVA, regression and
descriptive statistics have been used for data analysis. SPSS software had been used for data
analysis.

Suggestions
Illiteracy is the main problem for un-awareness of the poverty alleviation programs.
Therefore more tribal schools may be established. Once tribal women undergo education
they can concentrate more on skill development programmes
Training has to be provided for tribal women on concurrent basis in executing the
programs/schemes time to time.
Skill enhancement camps are to be deeply organized for tribal women so as to get success
of poverty alleviation programs
An advisory team may be set up for designing and monitoring poverty alleviation programs
comprising a successful poor tribal women entrepreneur in the team.
To continue poverty reduction and empowerment projects for a minimum span of 10-15
years so as to achieve desired results.
Discussion and Conclusion
It is evident from this study that both central and state government had implemented various
poverty alleviation programs in Telangana State. The programs had helped tribal women for
completing the education, investment for agriculture, land distribution for agriculture and
financial assistance for self-employment. A separate ministry had been established for welfare
of tribal women and assisting them in all ways so that women empowerment takes place. It is
found from this empirical survey that there is awareness, satisfaction and perception towards
poverty alleviation programs is high among the tribal women. The women empowerment had
taken place with effective implementation of poverty alleviation programs. The following are
some of the suggestions may be taken into consideration for the effective implementation of
tribal women for their further empowerment.
Future Research
There is a scope to conduct an empirical study for future research in terms of income
generation activities, asset accumulation and also the scale of skill enhancement before and
after the availing the Poverty alleviation programs by tribal women in all the tribal pockets in the
state of Telangana and other states having more tribal population.
