Abstract
The Self Help Groups in India have played a very vital role in the upliftment of rural masses especially dalit women. The Dalit women face oppression, suppression and denial of their dues economically, socially and politically. The Self Help Groups through the micro credit schemes and bank linkages have played a very crucial role in the Indian context. The present study is a conceptual study wherein the role of Self Help Groups in the upliftment of the Dalit women is undertaken.
