As part of this internship, I conducted a field research to study the successful implementation of the
Women Empowerment Scheme in Patna and Muzzafarpur districts in the state of Bihar. The research
also aimed to analyse the positive correlation between productive funds utilization by women
members of sample Self Help Groups established under the scheme and their socio-economic
empowerment.

The research was fully funded by the Government of Bihar under Honorable Chief Minister Shri Nitish
Kumar's 'Badh Chala Bihar' - 'Bihar@2025' campaign managed by the Information and Public
Relations Department. Our team visited 102 SHGs across 14 villages in 3 blocks and 2 districts. We
interviewed 324 women with diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Our research proposal was
shortlisted as one of the best proposals received. See less
