The National Council of Women in India (NCWI) was the second women's organization formed in India. NCWI was involved with women's suffrage in India. NCWI also worked towards improving women's lives in terms of maternity benefits, access to medical centers and child-care, and opposed child marriage. NCWI has published a journal in English, called NCWI Bulletin since 1925.

History
The NCWI was created as a national branch of the International Council of Women (ICW). It was the first Indian women's organization associated with an international group. A membership fee of Rs 15 and other high membership rates meant that the organization was geared towards wealthy women.
