About the speaker:
Kamayani Swami started delving seriously in the field of social change and development through the National campaign for the People’s Right to Information (NCPRI) and the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS). In 2008, she helped form a rural workers trade union called Jan Jagaran Shakti Sangathan (JJSS) to empower the rural community of Araria and Katihar districts of Bihar to secure employment and avoid distress migration. The JJSS has also been instrumental in initiating wide scale social audits to curb corruption and involve the common masses in implementation and monitoring of the govt. schemes.
