Empowerment of Resource Poor Community Especially Poor Women

The existing socio-political institutions including political parties are dominated by the rich and organization at local level the institutions belong to the influential and rich section of the society. The poor have no access to these institutions and hence they are deprived of the facilities provided by the state and the society.

Shushilan works with the most underprivileged community who have no access to the decision making process. In such a circumstance, the resource poor community, particularly the disadvantaged women need an alternative institution of their own as a bargaining platform and as an instrument of socio-economic and political empowerment.

Increasing people's self-initiative and ensuring people’s participation in development are essential preconditions for good governance and sustainable development. With this aim in view, Shushilan has envisaged 'Swaudyag' as an organised platform for people's self-development of all people as development partners. 'Swaudyag', as a people's platform- a development cell aims at ensuring people's voluntary participation in planning and implementation of local development initiatives.
