Honoured to launch and partake in the 6th Meghalaya Saras Aajeevika Fair 2025 in Shillong.

Today we celebrate a quiet revolution led by women who are preserving our culture, driving economic growth, and uplifting entire communities.

In just seven years, the SHG Movement has emerged as a powerful engine of change. This movement didn’t begin with 55,000 groups. It began with one urgent mission: saving mothers’ lives. Faced with high MMR, we found clear answers: better nutrition, family planning, and women’s empowerment. From that mission grew a movement led by women, transforming challenges into opportunities.
