Vishwashanti Mahila Vikas Mandal
Annual Report
2017-18
Page | 1
Dear Readers
Many years have gone by since I moved to Mumbai from
my humble village following my marriage at a very early
age. For over 20 years now, I have been staying in the
Maharashtra Nagar area of Mankhurd. The plight of
people here immediately filled me with despondency.
While it was disheartening, it drove me to try and change
this. My passion to help in the betterment of society
pushed me to enter this field. I was determined but lacked
direction. If I wanted bring some changes, I had to learn. I started meeting different people in
social sector and came in contact with the Community Development Officer of MCGM. As a
woman I understood the power a woman has and effective utilization of this power surged me
forward as I decided to form Self Help Groups (SHGs) under the Swarnajayanti Shahari Rojgar
Yojana.
Women empowerment was the main issue we wanted to focus on and hence we formed
Vishwashanti Mahila Vikas Mandal in 2005. Though women empowerment was our core work
area, we were involved in other community activities like employment generation, child labour
eradication, vocational training, sanitation & health, housing etc. This year the organisation has
been actively involved in many activities like providing midday meals to anganwadi children,
waste management under Swachcha Mumbai Prabodhan Abhiyan, organizing training
workshops for women empowerment and livelihood trainings. For the upcoming year our goal
will be to work towards the holistic development of the community
Regards,
Ms. Sangeeta Kamble,
President, Vishwashanti Mahila Vikas Mandal

Organisation founded in the year 2005 by the proactive women of the community of Mankhurd
area of Mumbai. The organisation was formed with the view of holistic development of the
community through basic education, health and protection of rights. Special focus was to be
given to the women of the community. The organisations governing body consists of mainly
women from the community. The organisations apex focus of women empowerment is tried to

The Organisation is governed by the principles of Krishi
Jyoti Savitribai Phule. During the days when women were
subject to severe oppression from society, which impeded
them from education and profession, Savitribai Phule came
as a beacon of guidance and progression. Her work in the
field of education of women is astounding. Today women
should feel greatly indebted to her and her efforts. She
deserves plaudits for her remarkable work in various fields.
Ideal of the Organisation

Special Emphasis is placed on women from the organisation. The organisation has set up support
groups for the empowerment of the women. The organisation has also looked to provide
information on a separate self-employment plan so that with minimal assistance, women can start
and run small businesses on their own. The support groups introduced build confidence among
them and provide for them to grow.

VSMVM had run a project of Swachch Mumbai Probodhan Abhiyan for 5 years through this
project organisation was able to provide employment opportunities to both men and women.
During the course of the project, various activities were conducted which included cleaning the
surroundings of the society, cleaning gutters and drains in and around society, awareness
programs of solid waste management.
Over the years growing up, we have
heard a plethora of stories. One story in
particular, pertinent to unity is that of the
farmer who housed four extremely
mischievous and quarrelsome children.
The children constantly fought with each
other and drove the farmer up the wall.
After a lot deliberation, he devised a plan
to teach them a lesson. He gave each of
the children a single stick and asked
them to break it. The children were able to break the stick with little effort. Then the farmer gave
them each a bunch of sticks and asked them to break it, all their herculean efforts went in vein as
none of them were able to break the sticks tied together. The farmer then made them aware of
how they are the living representations of the sticks, weak alone but indestructible together.
If one really wants to develop or flourish women’s standing in society, one should realize that
it’s imperative that women are united. Hence this concept of women's savings group seems very
important today. Many women have now become more capable, better trained, more confident to
run themselves, family or/and business. This has become possible because of the establishment
of women's savings groups. The institute has set up 50 women savings groups so far with the
setting up of a Women's Savings Group Federation next on the agenda.
Jeevan Jyot and Gyan Deep Established the Women's Savings Group Federation.

For the last 10 years, the organisation has been working on issues related to health and food for
women and children. Awareness programs are frequently organized on this topic. This

Activists of the organisation gathered during the inauguration of the organisations office.
Our organisation has been working in Mankhurd area for a considerable number of years. When
there was no office for the organisations employees to work from, it caused a lot of problems.
Mankhurd being a relatively poor area comprised largely of domestic workers who weren’t very
well informed of their rights and duties often leaned on better informed people to help them.
Without an office, work had to be done from home. The employees of the institution would often
have people coming to their houses seeking help. It was great hassle as problems such as the
absence of the employees or personal household work began to crop up. Work wasn’t very
efficient and this further raised the need for an office.
The office was the result of 13 years of assiduous work, the organisation tread on a rugged path
to get to the point. The journey wasn’t easy but it was helped greatly by the altruism of
organisations such as UPL and Renovate India. UPL is a colossal funder for the advancement of
the project that is to empower women.
The program started at 2:00 pm. The chief guest of the program was Ms. Armati Irani (State
Secretary of the Domestic Workers Association). Mr. Sambodhi Kamble (Ex.Corporator), Mr.
Sunil Gaikawad (world vision), Mr. Anant Jadhav (Secretary Mahatma Jyotiba Phule CHS) and
Mr. Alok Kadam (Co-founder Renovate India), were the other prominent guests present.
Organizers Ms. Suvudha Khair and Ms. Tejaswi Karnik compered the program. Through this
formulation, the listeners were given information about the organisations work so far and its
future goals. All of the major guests expressed their views and wished the organisation the best
in their future endeavors. The office was inaugurated by the chief guest, Ms. Armati Irani and
Mr. Sambodhi Kamble.

Radha Suman kumar Nagelli was a trainee who was apprehensive
about her skills and the training as she realized that finding job was
hard. With incessant diligent efforts from the organisation, she was
able to find a job as a cleaner at the Kurla branch of Kotak Mahindra
Bank. She is more than satisfied with job as she is not only able to
rake in sufficient money but also receives benefits such as PF and
health insurance.
Amedi Makhumalli Bano was woman who faces adversities due to
her religion. The Muslim community had strong restrictions which
acted as a barrier that prevented her from working. When sought out,
the organisation complied with her and put in strenuous effort to help
her. There were two major problems at hand, one to get her a job and
the other to ensure that it was done without upsetting the Muslim
community. At the end of the toil, the organisation was able to find
her a job that pays her Rs. 12000 a month.

Unsurprisingly, we faced a lot of challenges during the course of our work. Trainees weren’t
even slightly aware of many things. We also faced problems of waning enthusiasm. Trainees
were highly energetic at the beginning, but soon started to refrain from attending. The women
couldn’t grip the information quickly. A lot of patience and dedication was required to help the
women understand the intricacies.
Other challenges include
Providing Employment to each and every Woman
Catering to the preferred Job needs of the women want such as location,time and wages

The coming year the organisation plans to work on the same project as it did during the year
2017-18. The project that looked to raise economic standard of women domestic workers and
objective of which was to develop home management skills and to render dignified job to 300
women domestic workers through trainings will be aimed to be completed for the year 2018-19
as well. The project will focus on the women of M-ward, Mumbai. To implement this idea
VSMVM would need help from a CSR who would provide financial support to implement this
project.
VSMVM is also planning to start a marketing and selling centre in M-East ward, Mumbai. So, it
will be platform to SHGs’ women to market and sell their products by 2018.
