To strengthen the women groups, the Chennai Facility team of FSL-India organised many training for the representatives on roles and responsibility of SHG leaders, book-keeping, how to conduct monthly meeting, group auditing, linkages with government schemes and programs, linkages with banks and micro finance institutes and leadership development. Ever since the Panchayat Level Federation (PLF) was formed, with the support of FSL-India team the PLF representative could plan and execute various programs.

 

The successful operation of PLF at Irunkattukottai village was reported to Tamil Nadu Corporation for Development of women (TNCDW) popularly known as Mahalir Thittam in Kancheepuram.  The officials advised the representative of the PLF to get affiliated with TNCDW.
