SELECTING A COMMUNITY & DIAGNOSIS: The Proposed project is for the Community, Maliapattu, The community population is 1752 in that there are 920 men out of which 467 home leaders, 220 youths, 97 adolescents, 116 Children and 20 infants. There are 832 women out of that there are 458 married women in that 258 are house wives, 194 are going for agricultural work, 6 Widows are too going to work , 134 children, 125 adolescents, 90 youths and 23 infants. In the community there are 473 families. Women are not taking any decisions for their family or for their society because of their ignorance and weakness among themselves. They are ignorant of their rights in the society and being vulnerable because of the men governance. They are depending on men for their basic needs like food, clothe, shelter and to take care of their children. As the community is vulnerable, men are not getting their job daily; they are going to job occasionally because their works are agriculture and 100 days work provided by government. These job are seasonal so they are earning money only during the seasons after then the families are striving for food, clothe and to take care of their children.

Men are treating the women as slave; women are compelling to do what the men are telling. There is no space for the women to take their own decision and to govern the family. If the home leader doesn’t give any money for the family use, the family will be with hunger and would not ask any thing to her husband because of the fear and respect on him. Although the community women are having so much of dream in them, they could not process it in action and also they could not take care of their children well and good. Women are worrying for not feeding healthy food to their children. Although the children of the community women are clever and good enough she is not able to give good education to their children.

They are like a slave to men, as they are dependant on men for their basic needs like food, cloth and Shelter and to take care of their children. If the women earn themselves they will get the rights to govern the family as well as to put their own thoughts to bring up their family from the poverty line. If a woman earns she would not depend on men to maintain the family. She herself provides good education to her children as well as gives healthy food thereby makes the children physically and mentally good. 7.

9. ALTERNATIVE TREE: The community problem can be solved in another method too, which is by conducting a meeting among women in the community and form a Self Help Group (SHG) which is small saving although they would save from the earning of the home leader. She can spend the money for her family in urgent needs like for hospital use or for some festival use. After few months she can get loan and do some job privately like buying a cow or goat which will give her a daily income to lead the family. By forming SHG, women would get good relation with other women in the society and get helps like sharing their mental feelings and relax themselves also the knowledge of the women would increase by going to bank and to collector’s office. It will be more useful to them to know about the government schemes that are providing to the rural community. By knowing the Government Schemes from the BDO office or collector office they themselves go and approach the village leader to get the facilities and give it to them. So that the women will get empower through the government schemes.

13. POTENTIAL OBSTACLE / RISK ANALYSIS The obstacles in the project would arise from the family members, relatives, neighbors and friends. •

I n some family, the leaders would not allow the women to do work in home and they may be drunkards. During night times they would come home by consuming alcohol and fight with the women for unreasonable issues and break down the finished products.

•

If the low religions people get improve in their level the high religion people will get jealous of them and high class people may create more problems to the low religion community like talking in cheap manner.

•

The place to do the Product would not be sufficient for the community women.
