But later getting different training and skills some of them become entrepreneurs. They started their own business while other started commercial farming due to this they started earns money for their personal use as well as for their home.

In the past women are lack in participation in decision making either at home or in society by contrast it is changed slightly because of this they can take decision at home as well as in society too but still this is not satisfactory.

Likewise, annul income also rose after they joined MFP, in previous years there was no one who earn above one lakh but later it increased by 10%.Whereas 72% women thought that it has changed their speaking ability but still 28% women hesitate to speak in front of others, we can take this as an example of empowerment. In conclusion from this study we can say that participation is a key factor to empowerment if we want to make empower someone first they should participated in different activities.
