Mission, Vision & Values

Sustainable: We will continue to grow and serve the purposes for which it was established in spite of experiencing all sorts of stresses and constrains.
Perpetual livelihoods: We will provide livelihoods to the producer members throughout the year on a continuous basis.
Resource constrained women: Women who have limited opportunities to earn livelihoods because of lack of self-belief, confidence, skills, market opportunities or any other factors
Socio-economic status: The way women are perceived in the society and their status in a hierarchical society.
Affect change: We want to change the image of the member women in their society by providing them dignified income opportunity and ownership in their organisation and to become a model to be replicated across India, thereby bringing about economic prosperity in village communities and influence the mainstreams in favour of resource constrained rural women.
