Women's empowerment is a process in which women question current conventions and cultures in order to improve their own well-being. Based on a study done in the Salooni tehsil, District Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, this research examines the relevance and effect of programmes by Self Help Groups (SHGs) by examining empowerment levels. The SHGs in Salooni are part of the NRLM programme, which is run by the national government. The interview schedule technique is used to implement quantitative methodology. SHGs were chosen using a systematic sampling procedure, and then selected groups were investigated using the censes method. The examination has a sample size of 120 samples. To give the Empowerment Indicators a meaningful interpretation, the average and percentage were determined. . The majority of the SHGs are involved in income-generating activities by the majority of respondents. More than half of the women in the sample received training from the running agencies to support their activities related to agricultural transformation from traditional crops to cash crops. Most of the respondents are extremely satisfied with the SHGs programme for meeting their financial needs with formal credit agencies. The group members and running agencies work well together, according to the study. The majority of respondents said their earning abilities have improved, and they feel confident in their ability to communicate their difficulties and concerns to appropriate authorities. They also mentioned that by joining SHGs, they are able to carry out their income-generating activities on their own and with skill.
