In modern times, political and social reform often starts at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder; common people with ordinary lives enact change through community organization and the desire to improve their own lives and the lives of those around them. Governments that support such movements can experience great advances and achievements in the long term. Cases on Grassroots Campaigns for Community Empowerment and Social Change presents a series of real-world studies on political and social activism in the information age, focusing on how empowerment of minority or underserved populations can serve to enact sweeping reforms regionally, nationally, or globally. This book is a critical resource for political and private actors, including government agencies, community organizers, political parties, and researchers in the social sciences. This reference work features research on timely topics such as women’s empowerment, poverty, social activism and social change, community building, and empowerment of individuals in a variety of socioeconomic settings and roles.Problem of marketing of products from group enterprise : The SHG got a loan of Rs . 1.25 lakh with the assistance of which the group started a bakery unit .

This research report explores different organisational structures and social and cultural services from a gender-equality and women’s empowerment perspective. More specifically, it examines how access to social and cultural services can facilitate women’s participation in economic and political life. The producer organisation business model provides advantages in creating job opportunities and access to markets for women, positive spill-over effects in both household and group businesses, and access to social services such as vocational trainings, childcare and maternity leave – all of which support women to participate in the labour market on a more equal footing with men.Aimed at non-government organizations and others trying to assist people in starting their own businesses, on however small a scale, this manual provides detailed guidelines for an 11-day training course.

Empowerment is the much-heralded, all-purpose nostrum, allegedly guaranteed to solve virtually every social and economic problem imaginable. Weissberg scrutinizes empowerment closely, both theoretically and empirically. His analysis shows that it seldom delivers as promised and often masks a clamor for yet more government dependency. Worse, it often directs the less fortunate away from proven solutions.
