Abstract
This paper focuses on the study of impact of a self reliance model on women empowerment and its contribution towards improvement in the standard of living. Extensive secondary research was done to understand the self reliance model followed by field visits, primary data collection and qualitative analysis. A case of Chitrakoot has been taken to analyse how the self reliance model has been implemented and how it has gone a long way in empowering women in rural areas and developing society. The research suggested that women’s confidence and decision making abilities have increased dramatically, the contribution of women in agriculture has increased substantially and output of agriculture has risen. Vocational training programmes conducted by institutions like Udyamita, has increased women’s participation in activities like pickle making, marmalade, etc., which has made them self-reliant. This has indeed become a true model of rural development and has led to a substantial increase in women’s participation in work leading to empowerment.
