Women Empowermentis a vital issue of all round development of a society.Development of Tribal people will not be possible without closing the gap between women and men in terms of capacities, access to resources and opportunities. Since the 19702s the idea and practice of self-help group has developed worldwide as a major social phenomenon for poverty elevation and women empowerment. Self Help Groups are involved in different economic activities to develop their financial condition. The establishment of rural industries like sericulture can be very effective in providing a satisfactory income source for the women self-help group. Sericulture industry is an age old predominant cultural practised by almost all the tribal people of Assam. It has immense scope for empowering the tribal women in Assam. Nature has endowed Assam with favourable climate and environmental conditions for practising Sericulture. This region of the country is a substantial producer of different kind of silk i.e. Mulberry and Non-Mulberry silk worms produce about 10% of the total natural silk produced in India. It is expect that practising sericulture by Tribal Women’ Self Help Group will improve the Social and economic condition of Tribal women in Assam.
