Social activity

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 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, other than the economic activities like savings and credit, production and marketing of manufactured products, are being guided and coordinated by BGMS.

From our profit 10% we are using for our welfare activity. All the social activity has been monitored by Bagnan Gramin Mahila Samillion.
