Women play an important role in the overall development of any community irrespective of caste, class, religion, creed or country. In India, women constitute approximately 50% in terms of the population. But, when we look into their representation in economic activities it is quite low compared to their male counterpart. Many efforts have been made to empower women and especially tribal communities through different schemes implemented by Government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The present study explores the transformative impact on the livelihoods of tribal women in the South Gujarat region, India by SHGs activity. More than 2.50 lakhs SHGs are in function in Gujarat and among them, more than sixty thousands are in the South Gujarat region. Many interventions have been carried out through various strategies and models. In this paper, an attempt is made to explore the role of SHG in tribal women empowerment through Nahri centre located in South Gujarat region. Nahri, a traditional meal of the Adivasis, has evolved into a sustainable source of income and empowerment for women in the region. A qualitative analysis of interviews, observations, and data from Nahri centres elucidates the socio-economic dynamics, community development initiatives, and the role of NGOs in supporting these enterprises. Additionally, it explores the innovative solutions implemented, such as Nahri on Wheels, to overcome geographic constraints and ensure accessibility. The study underscores the significance of preserving indigenous culinary practices while fostering economic resilience and gender equality in marginalized communities.
