Organisation
Mahila Arthik Vikas Mahamandal (MAVIM), the State Women’s Development Corporation of Maharashtra, is a nodal agency of the Government of Maharashtra dedicated to women’s development throughout the state.

Since its founding in 1975, MAVIM has worked in the field of women’s development through various empowerment programs. Specifically, MAVIM has aimed to undertake its work through organizing and empowering marginalized women, rural and urban, into self-help groups, whereby marginalized women themselves are able to achieve social, economic, and political empowerment for themselves. MAVIM endeavors to act as the medium between self-help groups, financial institutions, and government agencies. Empowering women as a means of achieving women’s development has been MAVIM’s guiding philosophy. It also works towards ensuring delivery of central govt. of India's schemes for nutrition of pregnant women & children.
