Self Help Groups -
ANKURI has organized  Self Help Groups of  about 140 local rural women.  These are groups of about 10 women each.  Every group has a Secretary, President and Vice –President.  Each group has a small micro fund which they generate and control themselves. They give loans to villagers and amongst themselves.

Income Generation
ANKURI  has started a knitting program as a means of developing income and empowering women in managerial skills.  The women are quickly expanding their ability to execute intricate patterns, larger orders and haute couture while keeping to a rigorous time schedule and quality control.

Health
ANKURI has held three basic health camps in the villages.  The camp, which included a mobile health unit, was open to all members of the seven villages where ANKURI worked at that time.  People were examined for dental, eye, orthopedics, gynecology, bones and heart ailments.  A team of doctors was organized and free medicines were distributed.
