The Self-Help Group model is over two decades old and has proven its efficacy in tackling rural poverty through self-help and empowerment. The SHGs helped organize millions of rural women into communities so helped them to earn and responded to their credit needs. However, given the SHG approach's positive outcomes, there are many problems and constraints that conflict with the SHGs. The present study was carried out in Ahmedabad district of Gujarat state during the year 2018-19 with a sample size of 120 from 12 SHGs to define the constraints faced and suggestions offered by the members of SHGs. The major constraints faced by the members of SHG were lack of commitment among SHG members followed by lack of education and lack of management skills. Among the suggestions majority of the members offered more income - generating skills training should be organized for the members, women beneficiaries should be provided with adequate financing and subsidies and the members should arrive in time to attend meetings.
