Kudumbashree initiated entrepreneurial activities for rural poor women by organizing them into
neighbourhood groups (NHG). It was aimed at taking up microenterprises with the support of
Kudumbashree and has evidently proven its capability in organizing rural poor and empowering
them. The study was conducted in Palakkad district on 120 NHG members to explore the diversity
