One of India's most famous campaigns is to increase women's empowerment through self-help group efforts. Numerous research has examined how female SHGs affect their lives, but no comprehensive evaluation has yet been done, particularly regarding multifaceted aspects of empowerment. This research aimed to assess how women's participation in SHGs affected their level of empowerment. 305 (functional) questionnaires were employed in total for this quantitative research study. Data from women in various SHGs in the Union Territory of J&K were gathered via a survey. According to a regression study, women's engagement in self-help groups had an impact on all four aspects of women's empowerment. This finding has numerous ramifications for both academic and applied research.
