Over the years, significant changes have been observed in women’s attitudes, leadership qualities, and economic well being. Bala Vikasa women are now able to organise and manage their programs such as activities pertaining to savings, celebration of International Women’s Day, tree planting, initiating and managing water and sanitation projects, etc. in their villages. The values imbibed from their training and regular meetings, has had definite impact on the women as more and more women are now motivated to render voluntary services for the improvement of their communities. With the newly acquired leadership skills, dedication and self-belief, they work for village unity and village development, organize shramadanam, health camps, etc. The impact of the capacity building training programs is clearly evident in the empowerment of women who are now the real thinkers and planners, taking responsibility for their own development. Some SHA members have even been elected as village development committee members. This remarkable progress in the lives of the women at their personal, family and community level amply reflects the impact of the program.
