Excerpts Contd...
Dispute Settlement at SMGULP
A few discordant notes were struck in SMGULP's forty-four year history. In
July 1979, the general secretary of a trade union (an outsider) made certain
demands on behalf of a few member sisters of SMGULP. Subsequently, the then
President, Shashikala More, appealed to all member sisters to report their
grievances to her. These grievances were to be solved after discussions with
a committee appointed to do so. The organization also consulted L.C. Joshi

empowerment of women, it also seeks to raise the standard of living of
women. SMGULP has taken a major step towards eradicating evils like poverty
and illiteracy. Such an organization also forms a vital link between social
development and the advancement of rural women... |
