Bagnan Gramin Mahila Sammelan
When DWCRA groups were being formed, the objective was not only to promote economic well being of women, but to strive for their all-round development. Hence activities in various other fields, such as, literacy, education of children, health care, family welfare, conservation of natural environment, various type of training program etc were promoted through the groups. To plan, guide and coordinate these activities, need for a dedicated unit at the central level was felt. This led to the setting up of a central organisation called Bagnan Gramin Mahila Sammelan (BGMS) in 2002. BGMS is a society registered under the Societies Registration Act. All development activities of the women members and their family other than the economic activities like savings and credit, production and marketing of manufactured products, are being guided and coordinated by BGMS.
