What is the Coolie Sangha?
The Coolie Sangha is a 25 year-old membership based people’s organisation formed by small and poor peasant families (landed and landless agricultural labourers) in their respective villages. The Coolie Sangha embraces all and every facet of its Member Coolie families’ day to day living. It is not based on the principle of unity-at-times-of-need. It is much more than a “functional grouping” of the poor to solve pressing problems. Though born through ADATS’ community organisation efforts, it is not a “beneficiary organisation” of the NGO.
