Sahakarita Volume 6 highlights how women’s cooperatives contribute to sustainable and inclusive development by strengthening livelihoods, expanding financial access, and creating opportunities for collective leadership. Through conversations with pioneers such as Chetna Gala Sinha, stories from women farmers’ cooperatives, and reflections from SEWA’s archives, the edition explores how women build economic security through collective action.
The newsletter also traces the historical role of women’s institutions in shaping local economies and amplifying grassroots voices in national and international forums. Together, these stories demonstrate that women-led collectives are not only enterprise models, but also important drivers of social, economic, and sustainable development.
