Details : At this critical time, when everybody is skeptical in stepping out of houses, the SHGs are performing the day to day waste collection duties, sanitising the surroundings, manufacturing masks, maintaining social distancing which requires great commitment and obligation involving high risk and courage, our Self-Help Group Women (SHG Mahilas’) have taken another valiant effort in donating their a-day payment to Chief Minister Relief Fund, they are not just performing their duties but also carrying out an incomparable job.

Outcome : Our SHGs might come from small places but their hearts aren’t small, from such small livelihood this donation is definitely the biggest donation of our country, they have proved their worth in this tough time with their commendable duties and their donations with a big heart, when the world needs the most.
