It will be very difficult to arrive at the origin of Bhakti because it is a feeling of surrendering to God which is in all religions. But during medieval period, ‘Bhakti’ assumed a new significance and brought many changes in the Indian society. In this period Bhakti saints from different places preached importance of ‘Bhakti’ in their vernacular language instead of Sanskrit with sincere and simple devotion instead of complicated and costly rituals. Their teachings had variations from place to place due to language but their messages had widespread effect on the population. During this period many saints raised their voice against unjustified caste system and caste-based discrimination. This paper depicts the voices of saints like Tiruppan Alvar, Chokhamela and Ravidas of different states and languages in India.

The Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have been empowering women socially and economically and also encouraged them to create their own enterprises.

The research examines SHG membership and social and economic development using secondary qualitative analysis. The paper also discusses issues including tool availability, community support, and leadership. SHG stakeholders should be engaged to develop gender-sensitive regulations, and promote relationships to help initiatives to operate better and endure longer results.
