Kadambini virtually hosts a talk-cum-discussion by Dr. K. Kalpana of IIT Madras 

The Women’s Forum of IIT Palakkad, Kadambini organised a talk-cum-discussion on "Claiming Resources, Asserting Rights: Women's Collective Politics at the Grassroots" by Dr. K. Kalpana, Associate Professor, Development Studies, Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Madras, on 2 June. The talk followed by a discussion focused on women SHGs in Kanyakumari district formed to help landless women, and how pro-poor and gender sensitive or otherwise the institutional architecture of welfare policy intended to benefit them was. Through vignettes and field stories Dr Kalpana shared how women manoeuvred notoriously corrupt actors and institutions to make claims and garner resources to which they otherwise lacked legal access.
