The study was conducted during the year 2022-23 in Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh state to measure the Constraints and Suggestions of Self-Help Group Members under National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). In Lakhimpur Kheri district, Nighasan and Pasgawan blocks were purposefully selected for the present study, since these are dominated with the maximum Self-Help group members were working under National Rural Livelihood Mission in areas. A sample of 100 Respondents was selected by using proportionate random sampling technique with personnel interview from two selected gram panchayat and 10 SHGs from each gram panchayat. Total 20 SHGs (each block total fifty respondents) were selected randomly. The study revealed that most crucial constraints faced by the majority of SHG members were that the lack of knowledge about the market trend of SHG products (96.00) followed by lack of training programmes related to women SHG (95.00), lack of awareness of marketing strategies (94.00). The study suggested that a greater number of capacity building programs is required for marketing skill (87.00) followed by training programmes should provide related to women SHGs (84.00), required more awareness about the market trend of their produce for understanding the competition (80.00).
