The strength of micro credit lies in its ability to organize idle women into a productive workforce with their proven creditworthiness. This paper puts forward how Micro Credit has received extensive recognition as a strategy for economic, social and personal empowerment of women and seeks to examine the impact of Micro Credit with respect to poverty alleviation of rural women. A study was conducted on the Kudumbasree project, a micro credit scheme in Palakkad district which is one of the backward districts of Kerala state in India. Women, who are targeted by Kudumbashree, find it an opportunity for `instant cultural International upward mobility'. The study showed that the micro credit scheme showed that income, savings, unity and freedom are the major benefits.
