Abstract The study revealed that majority of the women in Self Help Groups had medium (78.89%) level of capacity building, followed by high (12.22%) and low (8.89%) level of capacity building. The relationship between personal, socio-economic, psychological characteristics and level of capacity building of members of women Self Help Groups observed that computed ‘r’ values of age, education, marital status, nature of family, enterprise, loan borrowing behaviour, risk orientation, market orientation, management orientation were positively significant whereas annual income was negatively significant and the remaining variables, net returns and incubation period showed non-significant relation with level of capacity building at 0.01 level of probability.
