Foreward

I am associated with the Mahila Samakhya (MS) program for last 16 years. MS program is an ideology which people

internalized to change themselves and the surrounding environment. MS program consistently involved in the struggle for

its expansion and stability. Often different institutions and people visit the MS program to understand and to evaluate.

They often ask basic questions such as what is MS program? What is Sangha? How do they work? How does it bring

empowerment? MS has some documents in unconsolidated forms which could answer some of their queries but not all.

Hence, we felt a need to publish a comprehensive document which can explain the entire program to external

stakeholders.

However, we were in dilemma to encapsulate such a detailed program in few pages which can answer all inquisitive

queries. Fortunately, we were in touch with Mr Karan (ex-Kois Invest analyst) who gladly took this challenge to express

MS program in form of a brief paper. After discussion with him, it was decided that an effort should be made to

consolidate the journey of the entire program which can help readers to understand MS ideology to some extent. In this

way, ‘30 Years of Women's Empowerment- ..facilitating rural women to realise their dreams’ paper is developed. We have

summarized MS efforts, challenges and achievements in qualitative and quantitative form. We have done some field

visits, interview with senior staff members and referred internal documents to develop this paper.

We hope that this document will help you to understand the MS program.

Thank you

Mahaila Samakhya, Uttar Pradesh


Emergence of Mahila Samakhya (MS)

Mahila Samakhya – meaning women’s empowerment through education - was launched in 1989

by the Government of India with the support of Netherlands Government. In the first phase,

program started in three states of Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka.

• Providing educational opportunities to women has been an important effort in the field of education. Even after achieving

these successes, gender inequalities remain a big concern in the rural areas.

• For the purpose of education for women's equality, the Mahila Samakhya program was launched in the year 1989 in

accordance with the goals of National Education Policy 1986.

• In rural areas especially, focusing on socially and economically vulnerable women are made as a definite goal of the MS.

• In 2016, Government of India had stopped the funding of the MS program nationally. They offered state governments if

they want to continue the program, as result, only five states adopted the MS program out of eleven1.

• In Uttar Pradesh (UP) program continued as state scheme, but in 2017 UP state government adopted MS program and

run it under Department of Women and Child.

History

1) MS was operating in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh.

Now, it’s presence only left in Assam, Gujrat, Karnataka, Kerala and Uttar Pradesh.

Sangha’ Formation

“it usually takes ~ 3-4 years to form a strong Sangha”

• The village-level women’s collectives, the Sanghas are the core units

of the program. It is consists of 20-25 women age between ~18-50

years and facilitated by a Shayogini1 (community worker).

• In Sanghas, women usually share their problems and concerns,

ranging from personal experiences of oppression and exploitation,

unequal wages, the deteriorating environment and the unavailability of

water, fuel and fodder, education for their children or themselves,

their images of themselves, and their vision and dreams.

• Shayogini helps and guides the women to share their personal

experiences and insights on the issues, analyse its causes and

dimensions and arrive at a collective understanding.

• Collective action is followed by the group discussing the outcomes and

consequences of their action and strategizing for the next step.

• Sangha work as a social pressure group in a village and help other

women (non-Sangha women) as well in & from nearby villages.

• Later on, adolescent girls get associated with MS program, hence,

we felt a need to start Kishori Sangha (adolescent girl collective)

which can provide them coaching and guidance to complete their

school exams and receive training in different issues such as health and

legal literacy.

• Kishori Sangha first started in 1997 in Pauri District (now in

Uttarakhand).

NARI ADALAT(WOMEN’ COURT)

“These Women would not look at a man when they spoke to him, but today they register cases and argue with us about legalities involved!” – Police Officer in UP

18


NariAdalat (Women’s Court)

What is a NariAdalat?

• Nari Adalat is the democratic, secular, non-formal system of

women crime-survivors, defenders and voluntary member’s

body headed by women to initiate, plan advocacy and involve in

mass action to address the issues of gender based violence,

economic discrimination and violence primarily domestic

atrocities to ensure dignity, equality and justice.

• Nari Adalat first started in Uttar Pradesh in Saharanpur in

1997 where violence had been taken up as a major issue with

15 cases were registered out which 8 were resolved.

• Belief in the inherent integrity of the statement given by the

woman was the premise the Nari Adalat acted upon.

• These Nari Adalats provide the forum for women to access

affordable justice and speedy resolution free from

patriarchal bias and serve as a social space where women can

speak out against violence and voice their protest traditional

oppressive practices within families and communities.

• It is also a forum where women can express their problems

without the hassle of complicated procedures and

unapproachable authority.

NARI SANJIVANI(HEALTH CENTER)

“If we are not healthy then our child will not be healthy as well, and we can’t give proper care to our child, this is what we have learnt here.” – Gudiya from Sitapur

21


Nari Sanjivani (Women Health Centres)

What is NariSanjivani?

• MS functionaries realised that rural women’s knowledge of their

bodies and their access to health services is so poor, that it

becomes an impediment to their empowerment.

• Acute lack of access of health services in rural areas and need to

restore traditional health practices led to trainings of Sangha women in

herbal medicine and ultimately Nari Sanjivani formally started in

1997-98 in Sewapuri and Chakia Blocks of Varanasi (later

Chandol).

• The trainings, workshops and information-dissemination in

health is given entirely with a gender perspective and within the

socio-culture context. This enables women to comprehend the

reasons behind the neglect of their health and nutritional status.

• In trainings the traditional knowledge of women with regards to herbal

medicines and their knowledge of local herbs was given due

cognisance.

• After training, the women went and tried these herbal medications

on themselves or prescribe to other women suffering from

disease for they were learning to prepare the medicine.

• When these women met with success, it gave them pleasure and

recognition.

Sanjivani Expansion Since 1997

BACHAT SAMUH(SAVING GROUP)

“In time of emergency, we used to beg moneylenders. But now our saving group have Rs.10,500 which we use to lend each other” – Rani from Bulandshahr

24


Bachat Samuh (Saving Group)

What is BachatSamuh?

• Mahila Samakhya felt that the lack of adequate economic

empowerment from the perspective of its role in maintaining and

perpetuating social inequalities, had to be addressed.

• MS had given the women access to education and information but

they still had limited bargaining power. With improved economic

status, would come better conditions at work, decision making

powers within the household, and freedom from continuous

debt and extreme poverty.

• In view of this, from August 1996 MS facilitated in the formation

of Saving Groups by contributing Rs.200 per month in form

grants to strong Sanghas for economic development.

• Later, many Sanghas-cum-saving groups have collected

substantial amounts through their savings which they use for

different economic activities including credit.

• Many Saving Groups have opened accounts in banks and take

great pride in the ownership of this saving account and, for many

who have hardly been out of their village, the monthly trip to the

bank to deposit their amount is an adventure in itself.

Saving Group Expansion Since 1997

“In Prashurampur village, 30 Sangha women

bought water pipe for investment purpose at

Rs.5,000 and give it to small farmers for

irrigation at Rs.250 per day rent.”2

Mahila Shikshan Kendra (MSK)

• Mahila Samakhya facilitators found it quite a task to convince the women that their innate common

sense, powers of intuition and ability to see logical relationships are all elements of ‘buddhi or

intelligence’. Even without being literate, they can be intelligent. Literacy is only a tool with which

they can express themselves in a better way.

• When the MS program started in 1989, literacy was not the felt need of the women. They were

interested in issues of ‘survival’ – drinking water, ration, getting minimum wages, minor forest

produces and violence. Once the Sangha started taking shape, there was a demand for information

relating to these issues.

• It was when women started to regularly interacted with structures of power and governance,

that they began to realise the value of literacy. They needed to write applications, access official

documents, maintaining records for saving groups. All these required the ability to read and write.

• Initially MS started to conduct literacy camps, adolescence girls camps, to expose the women to

the concept of literacy and to initiate their education.

• A region specific curriculum was used to each district, for example in Saharanpur the curriculum

as was connected to violence against women and in Varanasi to Panchayati Raj and wages.

• However, there is a growing demand later for a residential educational centre for women where they

could learn in an environment that was free from the daily pressure of house work, child care etc.

Hence, Mahila Shikshan Kendra (residential school for women) first initiated in Banda district

in 1995 with two batches of 40 women each between the ages of 14 and 40 years have passed out

of MSK. 30 of these have joined formal mainstream schools in Karvi in classes V and VI.

• As per available data, between the year 2007 to 2013, a total of 3195 girls were enrolled in MSK,

and 2908 girls passed, out of which 2195 girls joined the formal mainstream schools.

“The MSK not only

provides condensed

course, but is also a

holistic strategy

committed to creating a

cadre of educated and

aware women in very

backward regions where

female literacy is very

low and where it is

difficult to find literate

initiated by the Govt.

and NGOs.”1 – Govt. of

Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs)’ under Sarva Shikha Abhiyan

(SSA) in 2005-06 . KGBVs are residential schools like

MSK at upper primary level for out of school girls belonging

to disadvantaged groups such as SC, ST, OBC, Minority

and Below Poverty Line (BPL) families.

• As of Aug 2018, 3703 KGBVs were sanctioned under the

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), out of which 3697 KGBVs

are operational, enrolling 378,000 girls.1

• Provision has been made to upgrade the existing KGBVs

at upper primary level to upto senior secondary level to

ensure smooth transition of girls from elementary to

secondary and up to class XII.1

• As of now, all KGBVs schools in MS districts are run by

MS. However, KGBV was merged into basic education

department of Uttar Pradesh, hence, gradually state govt.

will take the charge of KGBVs from MS.

“There is a need to adopt the gender sensitive approach of Mahila Samakhya to the KGBV schools.” -Recommendations

of the National Consultation by NCERT (Dept. of Women Studies)2
