In our association there are almost 80 members and we work together with 25 members committee members. We gather once in a month. Once in every two months we have organised input sessions to the women, especially ‘women saving plan’ awareness programme on March 17, 2002. There were 78 women’s present for the project. As per this project every women will fund rupees 10 or rupees 20 every week at Kallabettu Co – operative Society Bank. Our association is divided into four groups; each group has got an animator. Every Sunday women’s will give their part of money with their animator to deposit the money in the bank. It’s a meaningful project and the 78 women’s are well benefitting from this project. Let’s be away from the bias mind that women are immature, week and let’s focus our attention to build up the positive role of women in society.
