Mahila Mandal Meeting

The Mahila Mandals are the Womens Associations. In the tribal, marginal farming communities of Andhra Pradesh, women often play a key role as educators, community leaders, managers of the family finances as well as playing a full role as workers to supplement the family income. But they are often illiterate, vulnerable to ill treatment and in need of empowerment. The Shantidhara Social Service Society provides this empowerment, organising Mahila Mandals in its ten target villages, giving adult education, literacy and home and budget management skills to the ladies of the villages.
