Abstract Empowering Women Through Timbaktu Collective
Dr.G.Ramamohan Reddy
The basic activity is formation of Self¬ Help Groups (SHGs) which is the organizational base for the eco¬nomic activities of women. These groups are federated at the Mandal level as MATCS (Mutually Aided Thrift Cooperative Societies)-Adisakthi MATCS in CK Palli Mandal, Ananthasakthi MATCS in Roddam Mandal, and Mahilasakthi MATCS in Ramagiri mandal. Taking these fur¬ther, a federation of the Societies has been formalized as the Mahasakthi network. The network focuses on improved governance of the Societies and approaches to solv¬ing broader social issues faced by the members. The work of the Societies takes place chiefly through thrift (sangha) meetings that happen weekly. Each Society runs a legal aid and counseling cell in their respective Mandal for helping members resolve family and other social issues that often need legal support.
In this paper an attempt is made to analyze the impact of Timbaktu promoted SHGs on sample respondents. Before analyzing various impacts an attempt is made to present socio- economic background of respondents, which have far reaching impact on various impacts.
