The women mass in the community is most neglected. They are earning in various ways to add their income for family maintenance.

But they are ever neglected and they had no right to spend even from their earnings. More over their decisions are never accepted in the family. After continuous programmes on gender related issues the situation in the project region has changed. As a consequence the women are now able to take decisions of their own. They are permitted to attend the meetings, Pallisabha and Gramasabha and are involved in village developmental activities and even are contesting in Panchayat Raj elections.

UNICEF, NABARD, IGSSS have extended their support for promotion and linkage of SHG.
