Abstract | The impressive growth of Indian economy in post liberalization period has played a significant role in the general uplifetment of our society. The growth in per-capita income, GDP, FDI figures etc all indicate the growth of our economy in right path. But then, the issue of concern is that the benefits of this growth have remained confined to certain upper sections of the society and has not trickled down to the needed people of the country. Among these needy ones, half is the womenfolk who in any case are subjected to more deprived conditions than their male counterparts. Especially in the context of rural conditions where females are equal workers both in the internal household chores as well as in the role of external agricultural labor. The situation for this section of the society remains more or less same even after economic reforms have been initiated for now almost two decades now in our country. Their effort have been restricted to meet both ends meet and thus, does not find any place in terms of being a contributor as well as a part of this economic growth. Therefore, this arose the requirement of simultaneous interventions to deal with issues of poverty, marginalization, backwardness and underdevelopment in Indian women. Mahila Mandals at village levels has a huge role to play here to take small initiatives in their lives and come out of the vicious circle of poverty. Rural women are motivated to realize their inalienable social, economic and political rights. They are encouraged to utilize the social and community support services in areas of education, health, family welfare and financial independence. Under the flagship of Mahila Mandals, village women organize themselves for undertaking activities of mutual development and awareness generation in rural areas. The penetrative capacity of these mandals in every nook and corner of the rural society qualifies them to take the charge of social, economic and financial reforms at the lowest level with the participation of all. With the advent of this form of organization, the women of the villages have come together for social, health and educational reasons as well as income generating activities. |
