Self Help Groups (SHGs) of women in India have been recognized as an effective strategy for the empowerment of women in rural as well as urban areas. The study is quasi-experimental in nature, as it attempts to examine the impact of psychosocial intervention on the women self¬-help group. The Self-Esteem Inventory and the Rathus Assertiveness Scale was given to the group and pre-intervention and the post-intervention scores were obtained. Intervention consisted of teaching skills for assertiveness and self-esteem. The data collected during the pre-test and post-test were analysed using paired't' test. There was a significant difference in the self-esteem and assertiveness of the self-help group women after the psychosocial training.
