CNRI treats women not as beneficiaries but as leaders — of SHGs, cooperatives, panchayats and enterprises. Member NGOs build women’s financial inclusion, entrepreneurship and collective leadership; CNRI pushes for gender-sensitive governance; and it carries the demands of rural Indian women into the UN forums where CNRI holds standing. Government partnership runs through women’s-livelihood and financial-inclusion missions, with members ensuring these reach the remotest blocks.

Positioning. Women as leaders and nation-builders, not beneficiaries.

Focus. Women’s leadership, financial inclusion, entrepreneurship and gender-sensitive governance.

How CNRI works.

• Local: member NGOs build women’s SHGs, financial inclusion, enterprise and collective leadership.
• National: advocacy for gender-sensitive governance and women’s central place in the rural and cooperative economy.
• Global: carrying the voice and demands of rural Indian women into UN forums where CNRI holds standing.
