la Fierté de l'Inde - Ela Bhatt, Part of a seven-part series on eminent women, this film is a portrait of the social entrepreneur Ela Bhatt, who led a movement for social justice and empowerment of the underprivileged in India. Coming from a family of freedom fighters, Ela was inspired by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. Right from her college days, Ela was inclined towards nation building activities and joined the textile labour association. When Ela visited Israel for a 3 month conference, the idea of organising underprivileged women in rural areas crystallized and SEWA was born. SEWA has an integrated approach towards the development of society. Two-thirds of SEWA's membership is in the rural areas. Its activities are distributed in eleven districts of Gujarat, five other states in India and many other countries. SEWA Bank, started by underprivileged women, has a turnover of Rs. 100 million.
