WOSCA facilitated the promotion and strengthening of 50 Self\u2011Help Groups with the support of NABARD to mobilize women from similar socio\u2011economic backgrounds and build collective resilience. Over the course of the programme, 100% SHGs were successfully linked with banks, ensuring financial inclusion and access to credit.<br \/>Through training on government schemes, rights, and entrepreneurship, members became active in income generation, community development, and social work. These SHGs have grown into platforms for women\u2019s leadership, enabling them to support one another and drive social change in their
