    (0202) DHUMATKAR, DEEPA V.
    Women's empowerment is the process of empowering women. Empowerment raises the status of women through education, awareness, literacy, and training. Women's empowerment equips and allows women to take life-determining decisions. They may get the opportunity to redefine gender roles, which in turn provide them more freedom to pursue desired goals. Women’s economic empowerment is an important component of inclusive growth of the country and is also vital for the development of a nation. Hence, creating a favourable climate for women’s active participation in the economic growth is an essential component of women empowerment. The Government of India has started various schemes for the upliftment of women especially for their social and economic growth. One of the schemes initiated by the Central Government in the year 2020 for the benefit of women in the micro food processing industry is the Prime Minister’s Scheme for Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises. The present study deals with the advantages of availing this scheme for the women in Goa and their economic empowerment through this scheme. The finance under this scheme can be availed by women through the SHG membership and individually. The objectives of the study were to determine whether the women beneficiaries were economically empowered and to assess the impact of challenges faced by the women beneficiaries. A study among 150 women beneficiaries was conducted to determine their economic empowerment. the sample was collected by using convenient sampling. Mean, standard deviation and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The mean values of various economic variables selected for the purpose of the study were found to have increased after availing the scheme.
