40. Shaikh, Farzaneh and Indira, M. (2011). Empowerment of women through self help groups and environmental management : experiences of NGOs in Karnataka state, India. Journal of Human Ecology, 34(1) : 29-40. Background: The Tenth Plan (200 2-07) of India aims to continue with the process of empowering women through translating the national policy for empowerment into action with a three-fold strategy economic empowerment, social empowerment and gender justice. In order to empower women in India, SHGs were introduced during the mid-1980s in Karnataka by Mysore Resettlement and Development Agency (MYRADA). Two vital processes have been identified as important for empowerment. The first is social mobilization and collective agency, as poor women lack the basic capabilities and selfconfidence to counter and challenge existing disparities and barriers against them. Second, the process of social mobilization needs to be accompanied and complemented by economic security. Objectives: Objective was to study the efforts of some NGOs who work with women’s SHGs and address environmental issues. Methodology: Tree NGOs were selected as case studies on empowerment work who were working with SHGs in watershed management as an environmental issue through their projects in Mysore district. Findings: Majority of responses emphasized that there were noticeable changes in their life i.e. community and family decision- making levels. Muslim women emphasized that they did not have any permission from their husbands to go but of their homes or to participate in some of the social programs, but when they became sure of their wives ability to obtain credit from banks and financial benefits through women’s SHGs, they then permitted their wives to participate in any program related to SHGs; women’s Self Help Groups (WSHGs) have encouraged saving money and the increase in income has allowed the poor women to be able to prioritize their requirements and to fulfill them; women have gained the option to pursue two or three petty businesses, to change from one type of business to another and to combine wage employment with small business, financial mobility due to participation in the SHG had led to an improvement in the quality of life, according to some of the successful groups; focus on women’s rights and awareness of their inner power was an attempt to produce a new subjectivity and identity for women, which is a form of a politicized woman (Berry 2003); now the women were able to meet each other and discuss their problems, they interact and this has resulted in building congenial relationships and has ensured fewer conflicts; majority of the women perceive themselves as having some influence over delirious in the political life of village and in a smaller number of cases, the women named their 74 __________________________________________________________________________________ DCWC Research Bulletin Vol. XVI April - June 2012
participation and influence in village political life an important and noteworthy change. Recommendation: Empowerment of women through women’s SHGs can be a good opportunity for the NGOs to involve women in environmental management to attain Sustainable Development through training sensitization and mobilization using Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods and community development; facilitators need to assure men that this was not aimed to take away power from them but to empower women as well, because of the high level of illiteracy among rural women language musts used (Cosway 1997).
