On August 15, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a speech outlining his vision to transform India into a developed nation by 2047, urging every citizen to actively participate in this ambitious journey. This paper seeks to examine the role of women's Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in achieving this vision. It argues that women's empowerment through SHGs has played a pivotal role in advancing the nation's development. By promoting financial inclusion, SHGs have economically empowered women, which, in turn, has catalyzed their empowerment across various dimensions, including social, cultural, and political spheres. These empowered women have emerged as agents of development and transformation, contributing significantly to the nation's progress.
