Abstract The study titled “A Study on Socio-Demographic Composition and Membership Patterns of Self-Help Groups Across Blocks of Papum Pare District, Arunachal Pradesh” seeks to analyze the distribution of Self-Help Group (SHG) membership among various social categories, including Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Minorities, and Others. The study also assesses the inclusion of marginalized groups such as Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) across different blocks of Papum Pare District. Utilizing a secondary data analysis approach, the research employs membership data sourced from the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) and official district reports. Descriptive statistical tools, such as percentage calculations and comparative tabulations, are employed to examine socio-demographic patterns and PWD inclusion across six blocks. The findings indicate a significant presence of Scheduled Tribes, comprising nearly 98% of total SHG members. Scheduled Castes, Minorities, and Others exhibit minimal representation. PWD inclusion is limited to approximately 2.13%, with notable variations between blocks, suggesting challenges related to outreach and accessibility. Based on these insights, the study recommends targeted awareness campaigns, enhanced accessibility measures, inclusive policy frameworks, capacity building of SHG facilitators, and strengthened monitoring mechanisms to promote equitable participation of marginalized groups. These measures aim to foster social cohesion, diversity, and empowerment within SHGs, thereby advancing inclusive and sustainable rural development in the tribal context of Papum Pare District.
