The
Tezpur District Mahila Samiti (TDMS) is the
pioneering women's organisation of the north eastern
region of India. Ever since its inception in 1921 and
subsequent registration in 1928, TDMS has evolved into
a position of deep understanding of issues related to
women in the larger backdrop of the social, cultural
and economic context of the area.
Mahatma
Gandhi's visit to the town of Tezpur in 1921 was
instrumental in giving this organisation its unique
ideology of volunteerism and self reliance translating
into the all round development of communities at the
grassroots level.
