Abstract
Women are part and parcel of holistic development of India. Their contributions for the advancement of the culture, customs and the social order are inevitable and wider in rural India. The main purpose of this empirical research study is to investigate the personal, family, social, and economic empowerment of rural women members in dairy cooperatives functioning at the villages in Dindigul and Batlagundu blocks in Dindigul District of Tamil Nadu State in India. Primary data were directly collected from 120 rural women members through structured interview schedule in the evening time. Percentage analysis was used to analyse their personal, family, social and economic empowerment. Correlation analysis was used to know the relationship between their social and economic empowerment. The foremost findings of the study reveal that rural women members in dairy cooperatives have gradually improved their personal, family, social and economic empowerment, after becoming the members of dairy cooperatives. Further, it mainly suggested that the State government and the Department of Cooperation have to take appropriate/immediate measures to increase the milk procurement price as early as possible which paves the way for their long-term socio-economic development. Dairy cooperatives bring silent socio-economic revolution through empowering rural women.
