When Prasanna Kumari S. of Kottukal in the capital district became part of the Kudumbashree network, the focus was mostly on thrift and credit activities.
In the two decades since, she has twice become chairperson of the Kudumbashree’s Kottukal community development society (CDS).
Prasanna Kumari’s journey, in a way, represents the development trajectory of the Kudumbashree, said to be the largest women’s organisational network in the world. The mission’s aim has evolved from poverty alleviation to empowerment of women.
