Women Empowerment through Self-help Groups (SHGs)

In India, the advancement and empowerment of women has been a leading objective of state policy ever since the attainment of independence in 1947. Institutions of different types – central, state, and local governments; non-governmental organizations; civil society; and other bodies – are active to ensure gender equality as laid down in the Constitution of India. India’s Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012) recognizes women for the first time not just as equal citizens, but as agents of economic and social growth. The Plan’s approach to gender equity is based on the recognition that interventions in favor of women must be multi-pronged and that they must be provided with basic entitlements. Self-help Groups (SHGs) have emerged as an effective instrument to promote entrepreneurship and self-confidence among women, particularly in rural areas. This book provides a vivid account of the various measures taken by the government of India for the economic, social, and political empowerment of women. More importantly, it examines the role of SHGs in women’s development, thereby envisaging a synthesis of the formal financial system and informal sector.

The Empowerment Mindset: Success Through Self-Knowledge

The Empowerment Mindset takes readers on a powerful journey of self-discovery so that they can transform unfulfilled lives to instead reflect happiness, success, and genuine empowerment.

Helin notes that, “If you don’t acquire the knowledge to improve your life, you will trap future generations of your family in the same cycle of disappointment.” Beyond vague platitudes this book shows the practical way to greater success and happiness through the adoption of an “empowerment mindset” – a way of living that empowers people to take charge of their lives. If Helin’s past books are an accurate gauge, The Empowerment Mindset is destined to become the most influential self-help book of the 21st century.

Calvin Helin is a best-selling, multi-award winning author, international speaker, attorney, entrepreneur and self-reliance activist.

“Aimed at  every man and woman, he helps us to  recognize that successful adapters, not the fittest, are the ones who succeed. The take-away of this book is a clearer understanding of life.” – Walter Beebe, President, New York Open Center

The Three Keys to Self-Empowerment

Three of Stuart Wilde’s bestselling books are included in this beautifully packaged self-empowering anthology…’Miracles’ – Stuart makes the point that creating miracles in our lives is no more complicated than understanding the metaphysics of the Universal Law, which states that within human beings there lies an immense power …and this power is impartial and unemotional. And because that law is indestructible and therefore infinite, we know that the power used by miracle-makers in the past is still available today. Yet, in our modern society, we are brought up to believe only in those things we can logically understand. We are not taught that the Universal Law has limitless potential or that this power is at our disposal and can be used to work miracles in our lives. ‘Life Was Never Meant To be a Struggle’ – Through a concerted action plan, this amusing work will help you quickly identify and eliminate the cause of struggle in your life. You were meant to be FREE – to achieve that state, you have to move gradually from struggle into free FLOW! As Stuart says, ‘Life was never meant to be a struggle, just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day.’ ‘Silent Power’ – ‘Within these pages, I’ll tell you about the silent power, its mystery, and how to get it. But there’s a simple trick you have to learn, and once you have that, silent power becomes your unspoken credential. It’s a charisma that gradually grows and develops around you. Through it, you can express a special goodness that helps people-and this planet-to change for the better. ‘Embrace your silent power. A great awakening is yours for the asking.’ (Stuart Wilde). 16851 Integrating political events with cultural, economic, and intellectual movements, Modern Japan provides a balanced and authoritative survey of modern Japanese history. A summary of Japan’s early history, emphasizing institutions and systems that influenced Japanese society, provides a well-rounded introduction to this essential volume, which focuses on the Tokugawa period to the present. The fourth edition now includes the latest scholarship on feudal women, samurai tactics, Chonin education, political reforms in the late Tokugawa period, foreigners in Nagasaki during the Meiji Restoration, and early feminism in the later Meiji period. Bringing Japanese history up to date, the final chapter details current issues, including the impact of the Gulf Wars on Japanese international relations and the recent controversies over Japanese war crimes, the so-called Comfort Women, and the Yasukuni war memorial.
