Empowerment of the Urban Women through SHGs in Coimbatore District –
A Study

S. Kamini, M.A., M.Phil.

Coimbatore – A Centre for Agriculture, Manufacture, and Cotton Mills

Coimbatore, the third largest city of the state of Tamilnadu, is one of the most industrialised cities in Tamilnadu, known as the textile capital of South India or the Manchester of the South. The city is situated on the banks of the river Noyyal. Located in the rain shadow region of the Western Ghats, Coimbatore enjoys a pleasant climate all the year round, aided by the fresh breeze that flows through the Palakkad Pass. The rich black soil of the region has contributed to Coimbatore’s flourishing agriculture industry.

The successful growth of cotton served as a foundation for the establishment of its famous textile industry. The first textile mill started functioning in 1888. There are now over a hundred mills. The result has been a strong economy and a reputation as one of the greatest industrial cities in South India.

Coimbatore is also famous for the manufacture of motor pump sets and varied engineering goods. It serves as an entry and exit point to neighbouring Kerala state and the ever-popular hill station of Udhagamandalam (Ooty).

Contours of Empowerment of Women

The National Policy for the Empowerment of Women (2000) states that “The Women’s movement and a widespread network of NGOs which have strong grassroots presence and deep insight into women’s concern have contributed in inspiring initiatives for the empowerment of women”.
