ArSLM and Rural Women Economics Empowerment through self Help Groups in Arunachal Pradesh

Author(s) Mr Doki Lollen
Country India
Abstract Women’s economic empowerment is a cornerstone of inclusive and sustainable rural development, particularly in tribal and geographically remote regions. In India, the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY NRLM) promotes Self Help Groups (SHGs) as key community institutions for poverty alleviation and women-led development. In Arunachal Pradesh, this mandate is implemented through the Arunachal State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ArSRLM). The present study empirically examines the contribution of ArSRLM in fostering rural women’s economic empowerment through SHGs, using secondary data drawn from official ArSRLM dashboards, NRLM performance reports, and authenticated government-linked media sources. The analysis focuses on SHG formation, household coverage, institutional federations, credit linkages, and market-based livelihood outcomes. Data indicate that ArSRLM has mobilized over 1.35 lakh rural households into more than 14,400 SHGs, supported by a multi-tier federation structure and increasing access to institutional credit. The findings suggest that SHGs under ArSRLM have enhanced women’s access to financial resources, livelihood opportunities, and collective agency. However, challenges related to scale, market access, and sustainability remain. The paper concludes with policy recommendations aimed at strengthening data-driven planning, market integration, and capacity-building to deepen women’s economic empowerment in Arunachal Pradesh.over
