Welcome to Indian School of Microfinance for Women ( ISMW )

Very few people know that there is an agency called Indian School of Microfinance for Women. Similarly many do not know the existence of SEWA (Self Employment to Women Association, Ahmedabad) or Women's World Banking who are catering exclusively to women in rural areas as also who want to be self-employed.

State and Central Governments should encourage such Not-for Profit Organisations, publicise their activities and support them in financial, managerial and operational areas. In the process, these governments would have also worked for the cause of the rural - unemployed - illiterate and destitute women who are less fortunate to get such services in public. They are supplementing the efforts of the government through their five year plans and in a phased manner. But ISMW appears to be involving itself in a range of activities like Agriculture, Renewable Energy, Technology, Education, Electrification, Housing Development, insurance, communication, and allied subjects too.
