Microeducation - Building knowledge and aspirations

Education and exposure to new opportunities are an integral part of the group experience. The second meeting of each month is utilized to convey information to the members on various topics of interest, such as entrepreneurship and business, social issues such as health and education and general knowledge such the internet.

Education is delivered in small modules or ‘micro’ portions to make it as accessible to the audience as possible. In addition, members discover new opportunities and hear of success stories through our seidhi malar member newsletter, monthly video malar and through freely distributed copies of our classifieds newspaper.

Some of our education components are designed to not only to educate but also to invite new aspirations. Video clips of our members, employees and management speaking on everything from their successes and failures to their involvement in their local community are utilized to move our member audiences. Coming soon is our inspirational feature film entitled “Shakti Pirakkudhu,” a film based on extensive research into the lives and struggles of our SHG women that provides solutions and inspires expanded aspirations as well as a 5 part digital mini MBA certificate program that takes business principles to the rural context.
