Home/About Us
Samaj Shakti Society is a women-centric community development organisation working for skill development, sustainable livelihood, social welfare and inclusive community empowerment across rural and semi-urban India.
We began the way most community organisations begin — with a handful of women in one village who wanted a way to earn without leaving their children behind. What started as a single tailoring circle has grown into a network of training centres, self-help groups, producer collectives and welfare programmes reaching families across districts.
Our approach has stayed the same throughout. We do not arrive with a fixed plan. We sit with the community, understand what already exists — a skill, a piece of land, a tradition — and build the missing pieces around it: training, working capital, market access and the confidence to negotiate.
To empower women and marginalised communities with skills, dignified livelihood opportunities, education and social protection — so that every family can stand on its own strength.
A society where every woman is skilled, self-reliant, respected and able to lead the development of her own community.
Dignity before charity. Transparency in every rupee. Decisions made with the community, never for it. And an absolute commitment to inclusion — of caste, faith, ability and age.
See our income & expenditureEvery intervention follows the same disciplined path, whether it is a weaving cluster or a digital literacy batch.
We spend time in the village before we spend money in it — understanding household income, existing skills, barriers and who is being left out.
Women are brought together into a self-help group or training batch with elected office bearers, so responsibility is shared from day one.
Hands-on training with free kits and raw material, combined with financial literacy so that a skill translates into a priced product.
Buyer linkage, exhibitions, bank account opening and credit linkage — the step most training programmes skip, and the one that decides success.
The group runs its own accounts and decisions. We stay on as a support line, tracking earnings and stepping back in only when needed.
