Ruchi Soya Industries Limited – Social Initiatives



We are interacting with three women groups through the Self Help process. Basically saving money and putting that to sensible use have found recognition that the women need. They are seen as individuals who help the family in difficult times. They learn to make decisions, voice their concern and come together to solve their own problems.



It is encouraging to see how the Ekta Mahila Group approached the Trust to help solve their Drinking water problem. They made a proper representation, put facts in proper perspective, were ready to help themselves and also worked out the distribution of water and paid their contribution as a token towards solving the water problem. They are now prepared to work on sorting out the water problem on a long term basis and are willing to look at Water shed programs.



They came forward and asked us to start tailoring classes. They searched a well known teacher and gave us two machines until we could purchase four more machines. They pay a nominal fee and show great enthusiasm to learn. We have seen great progress in their skills and are very encouraged by it.
