PURPOSE
This flashcard set aims at telling rural women that collective efforts like Mahila
Mandal are more effective than individual efforts made to solve their multifarious
problems. Rural women themselves can improve their socio-economic conditions
through Mahila Mandals. The programmes of these organisations are supported by
the local administration at village and block levels.
.
Functional and organisational aspects of a Mahila Mandal have also been discussed.

The Mahila Mandal’s sincere efforts bore sweet fruits. Family income in the
village increased. Prosperity, happiness and comfort became the common features
of the village life. The necessities of health, education, home, food, clothes etc.
remained no longer a problem.

The Mahila Mandal, in cooperation with Cooperative Milk Union, opened a Milk
Centre in the village where milk from the entire village was brought. The District
Cooperative Milk Union agreed to send its milk van daily to the village to collect
the milk. In this way the problem of marketing of the mik was solved.

Phoolkali knew very well that illiteracy among women hampers to a great extent
in the proper rearing of cows of improved breed. Literate women can preserve
their knowledge of cattle-rearing while illiterate women can not do so.
For this reason, a Literacy class was started for illiterate women of the village.

Many village women including Phoolkali, Ramdei and Rameshwari procured loans
from the local bank (Bank of India) for purchasing improved breed cows.
Consequently many such cows were purchased by a majority of familes.

The Chairman Phoolkali got many things done, with the help of Gram Sevika,
within six months of the formation of the Mahila Mandal.
— Every cow of the village was inseminated at the nearby Bijnaur Bull Mother
Farm.
— Village cattles were inoculated.
— Acreage of green fodder (Barseem, Rijka, etc) fields increased to a great extent.
— A portion of Gaon Samaj land was set aside by the Panchayat for the purpose
of being used as pasture land.

A few suggestions were made such as—sewing and knitting classes should be
started, vocational training programmes be organised etc. Lalita suggested that a
beginning should be made with those vocations which we are already familiar with.
Cattle-rearing Is one of such vocations. Let us think how can we make the cattle
rearing a profitable profession.
In the discussion three main issues emerged :
—In every family of the village milch cows are reared :
—The breed of cows is local and their milk-yield is poor (not more than one
liter a day).
—Women are ignorant of proper methods of breeding, feeding and management
of cattles.
You can see, Lalita has written down these three issues on a black board.
Gram Sevika, at the end of the meeting, enlightened the committee members on
the facilities available for rearing cows on scientific lines.

In the next meeting, the executive committee was formed. Phoolkali, Ramdei
and Rameshwari were elected President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively.
The first step which Phoolkali took, in meeting of the executive committee, was
that she intimated to village Pradhan, Block Pramukh and B. D. O. that a Mahila Mandal
in Bhadarsa village had been formed.
Then the discussion revolved around how income of the families can be increased.
Gramsevika, of the area, was also invited to participate in the discussion.

Lalita enlightened the rural women on many other things. She told that meetings
of the Mahila Mandal will be organised every month in addition to special meetings
which can be convened when needed. Mahila Mandal will elect an executive commi
ttee comprising of 7, 9 or II members. These members will elect a President, a
Secretary and a Treasurer from amongst themselves. The President will be
advised by the members for planning various programmes of the Mandal. The
Secretary will see that the programmes are executed properly. The Treasurer will
maintain records of subscription, membership fee, subsidies, loans etc. The income
of Mahila Mandal will be deposited in a Post Office Savings Bank A/c. The Chairman,
with the help of Gramsevika of the area, will check the account.
Then Lalita replied many queries of the women and requested them to bring
more women in the next meeting so that the executive committee may be elected.

Cooperative Society and Marketing—Mahila Mandal can run a Cooperative
Society to market the products of the home based small scale industries. This will
also check rise in prices and ensure availability of fine quality goods.
Mahila Mandal may also organise cultural and entertainment programmes like
Bhajans, Kirtans, recitation of Ramayana etc.

Cottage Industries—Ban-making, mat-making, fan-making, sewing and knitting,
masala-grinding, may be a few potential industries. These industries will help the
women who have small holdings and big families of underemployed and unemployed
persons. The women may also be helped to get loans and be trained for establishing
such industries.

Lalita collected a few women of the village to make them conscious of these
problems. Said she, “This assembly is the beginning of a big event. I am going to
found an institution which will help us solve our economic and social problems and
raise the standard of our living. This institution will be called Mahila Mandal. All
of you will be members of this Mandal. Any woman, between 18 and 45, can become
its member (young girls between 12 and 18 can form Yuvati Mandal). Each member
will pay membership fee (fixed by the members themselves) and a monthly subs
cription. The amount, so collected, will be spent on your advice, on various welfare
programmes. The other day, at Phoolkali’s residence, I came to know about many
problems, faced by you. To solve these problems and better the lot of the rural
women, the Mahila Mandal will be involved in various developmental works like—

At her home, Lalita pondered over many things—those which she had come to
know about at Phoolkali’s residence. She concluded that :
—literacy percentage among women of this village is very low. They mis-utilise
their leisure time in mere gossipping.
—families are big. Land holdings are small. Labourers are under-employed.
—milch cattles, though reared in almost every family, are hardly a source of income.

Inhabitants of village Bhadarsa, now-a-days very often see a young woman Lalita
who frequently meets rural women and talks to them very intimately.
One day, at noon, she went to Phoolkali’s house. A few women and children
had assembled in her house. Lalita asked smilingly, “What are you doing ?”
“Just chatting. What else to do ? We are free in noons.” Lalita joined them and
conversed freely with them.
