V.M. Rao (Author)
Synopsis Women in tribal society are integral part and have equal status with their men. With domestic activities, they perform many other activities contributing towards general well-being of their families. However, due to seclusion from general masses, they remained backward in certain respects. In order to bring them closer to modern world, government framed and implemented many programmes for their development. But due to illiteracy, economic backwardness and lack of communication most of them remained unware of these schemes. Therefore cooperative corporation and SHGs came to the fore to make them literate, provide mobility and communication facilities, access to information, means of health care and alternate means of income generation. These institutions have worked tremendously towards empowerment of tribal women. The present book makes an in-depth research into status and role of tribal women, role of cooperative movement and self-help groups in the development and amelioration of these women, effect and outcomes of activities and help of these organizations and recommendations and suggestions for further improvement. All the facts are supported through data in numerous tables. This book is a must for every student, teacher cooperative society, self-help group and general readers.
