Many shy, home-bound women have now transformed into active political leaders who are bringing a larger change in their community through poverty alleviation program. In Kerala, the hugely successful Kudumbashree poverty alleviation programme has changed the life of hundreds of thousands of women facilitating their economic and, subsequently, political empowerment. A joint initiative of NABARD and Kerala government, the programme is being implemented through a three-tier model comprising Neighbourhood Groups (NHGs) at the grassroots, then the Area Development Societies (ADSs), which are made up of representatives from the NHGs, and finally, the Community Development Societies (CDSs) that operate at the panchayat level with members elected through the ADSs.
