SANCHAY BHORALS (WOMEN'S THRIFT GROUPS)
The
concept of thrift and credit and of creating a
sustainable mode of economic independence was
introduced to TDMS by Saakshi, a Delhi based
organization when we were collaborating with them
for legal education programs.
The
President seized this opportunity as the concept
of saving was a primary concern of TDMS since its
inception.
 TDMS had been campaigning to popularize
the National savings Scheme in rural and tea
garden areas since the 1950’s. Through
this programme TDMS was able to build 77 women
groups into independent credit societies. TDMS had
been campaigning to popularize the National
savings Scheme in rural and tea garden areas since

Women's
participation in economic activity through MSB's has resulted in personal, family and community development. The use and management of money has given them a sense of self satisfaction thus boosting their confidence. Creation of productive assets wage looms, Cattle, poultry, Handloom, Piggery, dairy are an offshoot of economic enterprise after the formation of MSB.
