Description A study to assess the impact of SHGs in gender
mainstreaming was undertaken among the SHG operating dry
fish units at Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu. The
analysis included performance assessment of the SHGs, gender
analysis, empowerment analysis and economic feasibility
analysis which were carried out based on the primary data
collected from the members of the SHGs. The male and female
counterparts of the families of SHG members were separately
interviewed to assess the gender mainstreaming aspects in
terms of equity and equality to access to resources, participation
profile, decision making aspects, gender need analysis etc.
Though majority of activities are female dominated, the male
counterparts of the households also have definite role in
decision making, purchase of accessories, sales, marketing etc.
The indicative economics worked out for the economic
feasibility analysis of the SHGs suggests that, the unit takes just
one year to achieve break even. A case studywas documented as
amoviewhich can be used as a case model for promoting group
actionby mobilizingSHGsona sustainable basis.
