A small village in Rehli Block namely Kanchi pipariyah consists of 171 HHs that are of minority community mainly belonging to harijan caste out of which we have 50 targets HHs.
Mr. Rajendre Patel (cluster coordinator) made efforts for a MM of 12 females of this community 4 months before.
The name of the MM was fixed by the mahilas themselves as MAHALAKSHMI MAHILA MANDAL who seem to be very much interested in making a move from the line of poverty to a new life. Their willingness for the same was shown by the shift they made in their thinking from making of beedi to something a newer IGA. Their stage of motivation was high with the regular visits of the harit prayas team and the trainings that were conducted.
For some or the other reason there was clash because of which the members were reduced to 10. From here on the eager to make a fight back for showing the others of what they are and what they can build up.
So they have fixed their saving to 50rs per head on 1st of every month, which was irregular in the beginning. Now they have a balance 2000rs in bank.
All the mahilas along with the cluster coordinator made a visit to the bank for opening bank A/C at Chandhpur (SBI Branch) 8km far from the village totally a different area from Rehli.
For some reason the cluster coordinator could not make a visit to the group for the monthly meeting day, so the mahilas themselves arranged their meeting and travelled by cycle to bank to deposit the saving and filled the form all by themselves. For the first time Mrs. Sapna Ahirwar and Mrs.Aarti Ahirwar had filled the bank form and deposited the money.
The age old custom of wearing Gungat seems to slowly vanish from this village as the mahilas are coming out of the villages and facing the world all just after the intervention of the Harit Prayas team.
