Credit Programme for Women Petty Traders  
 
This project was launched in 1993 in collaboration with Working Women’s Forum (I), Chennai. We trained and disbursed small loan to 600 women petty traders in 75 groups in 36 villages of Kalapathar GP of Sonepur district. Women are trained on Status of women in our society, Child care & Nutrition, Laws relating to women and Reproductive health.

These women used the loan money in various petty trades of their own choice — vegetable growing, broom-making,, popped rice, milk-curd, rope-making, Mat making, Grocery shop, small restaurant, paddy and rice trade, leaf cup-plate making, fish business, mini poultry, peanut and ground nut growing, etc.

 
       
  Women Self Help Group organization
 
    Women are self-dependent by nature, especially tribal women. We have organized 21 WSHG who are engaged in thrift and credit and small petty trades. These women are trained on Women status, Gender Equity, Mother & Child Health, reproductive system and entrepreneurship development. These 283 women in 21 groups of three blocks of Sonepur district have formed an federation called Duradarshini Mahila Mahasangha in 2004.  
       
       
  Study on Girls of Sonepur District who are married out of Orissa through mediators.  
    This is a study of the recent phenomena seen in many districts of Western Orissa. The study was conducted taking 109 girls in 38 villages as sample. Main objective of this study is to find out whether these marriages are marriage in reality or a form of trafficking of young women. We are looking forward to work on this issue in Balangir and Sonepur district.
