Abstract

Microfinance is widely accepted as an important tool for alleviating poverty. Self-help group (SHG) programme has emerged as the primary source of microfinance that deals with a wide range of issues impacting poor society. This paper seeks to identify the role of SHGs in various aspects of development, such as women's empowerment, poverty alleviation, socio-economic development, rural development, and entrepreneurial development, etc. A total of 140 studies during the time frame of 1992-2021 have been finalised through PRISMA (2020) framework for systematically screening the records for measuring contribution of SHGs. The trend analysis of a number of publications showed that the concept of 'SHGs' is gaining importance and popularity as it was highly researched in 2020 and 2021. An additional impression of the current study is that a research gap in literature has been found which will help the researchers in carrying out further research.
