Abstract
The Gujarat Livelihood Promotion Company (GLPC) has been instrumental in promoting rural livelihood initiatives across Gujarat, with a focus on empowering women and marginalized
communities. This report delves into GLPC's efforts in Khambaliya and Dwarka, where Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are transforming the economic landscape through diverse micro-enterprises. By enabling women to participate in economic activities, GLPC’s initiatives not only provide income opportunities but also foster self-sufficiency and community resilience. This report aims to capture the socio-economic impact of these SHGs, assess their challenges, and propose strategies to enhance their operational efficiency and market reach.
To comprehensively understand the SHG operations and challenges, a mixed-method research approach was adopted, combining ethnographic observations, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The field study involved extensive engagement with SHG members, community leaders, and local stakeholders. Observations covered SHG activities, production processes, community interactions, and market conditions.
