Socio-Economic Development Through Rural Women Home-Based Products: An Analytical Study in Bareilly Mandal, Uttar Pradesh

Authors(1) :-Dr. Saurabh Verma

Rural women play a crucial role in economic development through home-based industries, contributing significantly to their household income and preserving cultural heritage. This study examines the socio-economic impact of rural women’s home-made products in the Bareilly Mandal of Uttar Pradesh, focusing on employment generation, income growth, and poverty alleviation. The findings reveal a 103% increase in employment days among programme beneficiaries, with 2.5 times rise in income levels compared to pre-programme conditions. Additionally, 77% of below-poverty-line (BPL) households improved their economic status and moved above the poverty line. The study employs regression analysis to identify factors influencing employment and poverty reduction, highlighting the role of microfinance programs in empowering women entrepreneurs. Despite these benefits, the research identifies major challenges, including limited market accessibility, inadequate skill diversification, and financial constraints. Many women face competition from large industries, restricting their business expansion. Policy recommendations include strengthening market linkages, expanding skill-based training programs, and enhancing financial accessibility to ensure sustainable socio-economic development. This study underscores the potential of women-led home-based enterprises in fostering rural economic growth and cultural preservation.
