Abstract: Majority of women Self Help Groups (SHGs) members in Imphal West District of Manipur are between 36 to 50 years, married, general caste, nuclear family (3-5 members), residing in ‘Pucca’ houses and possessing less than 1 acre of land. Majority of them are low educated, engaged in government services (primary occupation), having household possession above Rs.1,00,000 and used mobile phones as a medium of communication. Annual income generation for each member from SHG ranges from Rs. 50,001 to Rs. 1,00,000 providing a total family income more than Rs. 2,00,000. They were low to semi-medium level in social participation, semi-medium level in exploring work outside the village and low level in extension contact. Different constraints analyses (using ranking technique) divulged that lack of motivation from government resulted in ‘Organizational’ constraints with semi-medium level, lack of social security resulted into ‘Social’ constraints with semi-medium level, inadequate guidance and expertises resulted into ‘Technological’ constraints with medium level, insufficient credit resulted into ‘Credit, Finance and Savings’ constraints with semi-medium level, complication in procurement of inputs and materials resulted into ‘Production and Marketing’ constraints with medium level and household activities restricting SHG activities resulted into ‘Family/Domestic’ constraints with semi-medium level.
