	Mahila Mandals (women’s group) are formed for the women workers primarily to organize of women who were engaged either in Tendu leaf plucking or other minor forest produces collection, self-employed, doing agricultural labor or construction labor work, etc.

	The activities aimed at better facilities in the work place and increase in their wages also encourage women to save money for emergency need. Apart from these regular activities it links with women’s saving group and income generation activities e.g. raising nursery, poultry farming. Through meetings and personal contacts we generate awareness among women on various issues.
