Which organisations out of the following are associated with women's welfare?

(A) Shetkari Sangathan and Centre for Indian Trade Unions

(B) Shetkari Sangathan and National Council for Women in India

(D) All India Women's Conference

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 3

The correct answer is Option (3) → (D) and (C) only

(A) Shetkari Sangathan and Centre for Indian Trade Unions Incorrect. Neither is a women’s organisation. Shetkari Sangathan is an agricultural union of farmers, and the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) is a trade union of workers.

(B) Shetkari Sangathan and National Council for Women in India Incorrect. Only half of the pair fits. The National Council for Women in India is a women’s organisation, but Shetkari Sangathan is a farmers’ union.

(C) National Council for Women in India and Women’s India Association Correct. Both grew in the early twentieth century with the women’s organisations at the national and local level: the Women’s India Association (WIA) in 1917 and the National Council for Women in India (NCWI) in 1925.

(D) All India Women’s Conference Correct. The All India Women’s Conference (AIWC) was founded in 1926. It began with the idea that ‘women’s welfare’ and ‘politics’ were mutually exclusive, though its scope widened over time.

NCERT (2025-26): “8.8 The Women’s Movement … The early 20th century saw the growth of women’s organisations at the national and the local level. The Women’s India Association (WIA) (1917), All India Women’s Conference (AIWC) (1926) and National Council for Women in India (NCWI) (1925) are ready names of organisations that we can mention. While many of them began with a limited focus, their scope extended over time. For instance, the AIWC began with the idea that ‘women’s welfare’ and ‘politics’ were mutually exclusive.…”

“3.2 Political Parties, Pressure and Interest Groups in Democratic Politics … Workers form trade unions such as the Indian Trade Union Congress (INTUC) or the Centre Indian Trade Unions (CITU). Farmers form … agricultural unions such as Shetkari Sangathan.…”
