Here’s How This ‘Anaaj Bank’ Is Helping Poor Villagers In UP To Get Food

For many residents of the villages of Koraon and Shankargarh in Uttar Pradesh’s Allahabad district, going to sleep on a hungry stomach was a recurrent torment for which there was little help. The vexing problem of hunger for the mostly landless locals belonging to tribal communities needed an out-of-the-box solution, and that came in the form of an ‘anaaj bank’ launched by a self-help group (SHG).

Initially, the villagers had little hope that a small tin drum with a capacity of 300kg could do much to change their luck. But now, about a year later, they can only be thankful for the initiative that lets them take home grains on loan and donate a portion of the grain back to the bank as repayment.
