Victorious Strides on an Innovative Development Track
Seven women in a hillside village supply pure cow-milk to 450 houses, which include those in the nearby town. Mother of three children earns her living rearing forty sheep. Six women run a passenger bus service. There are those who are on the move as auto taxi and Nano taxi drivers on the roads, and those who cater to people’s tastes with their mouth-watering cuisines. There are hundreds of women who find their way up along the ladder of success by virtue of the strong determination and willingness to work hard.

The saga of the success of woman power is becoming an ideal; as for its source, we find it in the Kerala government’s poverty eradication mission – namely Kudumbashree.

Kudumbashree is becoming a silent revolution in the lower strata of society. The stories of thousands who regained confidence and attained new life through this mission have not been much celebrated: probably because the beneficiaries were those who lived in the darkness far below the poverty line! The strength of the membership of this mission which is growing as a parallel system of development in Kerala comes to more than thirty-nine lakhs.

Kudumbashree has become the greatest woman-empowerment movement of the nation as it is women, and through them their families, that have been saved through committed perseverance in fellowship. This investigative serial draws attention to those facts that equipped thousands of women with means of living and led them into the mainstream through their unassuming entrepreneurial efforts. The success stories explain a unique development model, originally intended for poverty eradication that has helped numerous villages in Kerala to come forward to a victorious path of regional development.
