Beekeeping can provide a viable venture for social and economic advancement for tribal women of India. This investigation emphasizes the significant advantages of beekeeping and how it can change women's lives in tribal communities. Temple's ability to create financial returns and develop abilities at the same time as promoting social advancement follows directly from women's empowerment. The understanding of its effects proceeds from examining both the historical meaning of beekeeping and the economic realities of tribal societies. Through social empowerment people gain self-confidence while their communities become stronger but economic development produces profit streams and teaches essential entrepreneurial competencies. This review presents multiple solutions based on public institution support combined with NGO partnership and cooperative initiatives while identifying barriers such as marketplace competition and educational barriers and limited resources availability. Beginning a beekeeping business requires following specific processes starting with marketing plans and ending with training activities. The practice of beekeeping serves as a sustainable advancement method by improving both personal income and community growth over time.
