“The visit to Kerala to see the work undertaken by Kudumbashree women has been a great learning experience. The convergence model implemented in Kerala has empowered the local people here. Initiatives like Asraya and Balasabha are excellent examples of how an active and conscious community work together to support the vulnerable and bring about social change”.

-Saroj Kumar Mishra, Project Director DRDA, Odisha Livelihoods Mission
