Abstract	This study offers a comprehensive examination of the critical role of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and the Kudumbashree program in promoting women's empowerment in India, with a specific focus on the Aloor Grama Panchayat in Kerala. It effectively highlights how Kudumbashree, a large-scale women's development initiative, employs microcredit, entrepreneurship, and targeted empowerment strategies to confront the socio-economic challenges faced by underprivileged women. Employing a robust descriptive and analytical approach, this research draws on both primary data from Kudumbashree units and secondary data from various published sources. The goal is to assess the program's significant impact on enhancing women's self-reliance, economic stability, and overall social well-being. The findings offer a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of community-based programs in promoting women's entrepreneurship and empowerment within developing economies.
