The Transformational Power of Community Networks

In the remote villages of our working areas, the true catalysts of change emerge from within the communities themselves. Women’s self-help groups, farmer groups, and youth groups serve as the beating heart of these communities, fostering individuals with the vision and capability to ignite transformation.

These community networks are the birthplace of change makers, individuals who possess the power to inspire and lead their communities towards progress.

Among these networks, two of the most impactful are:


Women’s Self-Help Groups:
With a presence in 500 villages, we have established 3,471 women’s groups, uniting over 62,000 women. These groups empower women to take charge of their lives and communities.


Farmers Groups:
We are actively involved in setting up self-help groups in remote rural areas, offering training and support across various farming practices. Whether it’s food cultivation, animal husbandry, or tree planting, these groups are the backbone of sustainable agriculture.

In addition to these, we also nurture specialized groups focused on fisheries, health, and education, ensuring a holistic approach to community development.


Our belief is simple:
when people facing challenging circumstances come together, their collective strength multiplies. Organized communities have the ability to shape their own destiny when provided with a supportive and non-threatening environment that encourages active participation. At Nirman Trust, we facilitate this environment, allowing communities to take charge of their own transformation and build a brighter future.
