Key Points

On May 17, 1998, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee officially launched Kudumbashree, the Kerala State Poverty Eradication Mission.
Under the direction of Local Self Governments established and given authority by the 73rd and 74th Amendments to the Indian Constitution, the Mission aspires to remove absolute poverty within a set time frame of ten years.
By putting the impoverished in community-based groups, the Mission established by the State Government with the active assistance of the Government of India and NABARD has adopted a novel approach to combating poverty.
Instead of using a project-based strategy, the Mission uses a process approach.
Bringing together women from all walks of life to fight for their rights or for empowerment, Kudumbashree, a community organisation of Neighborhood Groups (NHGs) of women in Kerala, has been recognised as a successful method for the empowerment of women in rural as well as urban regions.
