  • Food for Thought February 2010 Promoting Gender Equality Through Microcredit
    Food for Thought February 2010 Promoting Gender Equality Through Microcredit "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Give a woman microcredit, she, her husband, her children and her extended family will eat for a lifetime." -- Bono What’s the difference between microcredit and microfinance? “Microcredit refers to very small loans for unsalaried borrowers with little or no collateral, provided by legally registered institutions. Microfinance typically refers to microcredit, savings, insurance, money transfers, and other financial products targeted at poor and low-income people.The most common microfinance product is a microcredit loan—usually less than $100. These small loans are enough for hardworking micro-entrepreneurs, usually women. Microfinance refers to a movement that envisions a world in which low-income households have permanent access to a range of high quality financial services to finance their income-producing activities, build assets, stabilize consumption, and protect against risks. These services are not limited to credit, but include savings, insurance, and money transfers.9--The Microfinance Gateway www.microfinancegateway.org “Traditionally, microfinance focused on providing very small loans (microcredit) to the poor to help them engage in productive activities. But a much broader range of financial services—deposit services, money transfer services, and micro-insurance—can help poor people to build assets, increase their income and reduce their vulnerability to all types of risks. Microfinance allows poor people

  • Know Your Dals & Pulses
    www.tarladalal.com Dear friends, gGone are the days when dals and pulses were considered a poor man's diet! Today, they have become not just trendy but core to Indian cuisine. Much of the newfound excitement with regard to vegetarian cooking is fuelled by the imaginative use of dals and pulses. The simple, highly-nutritious and comforting dal-chawal (lentil-rice) combination is an inseparable part of any traditional, Indian vegetarian meal. The protein-packed super-foods, dals and pulses, have been, and continue to be, a part of our culinary tradition across the length and breadth of the country since time immemorial. But we take these wholesome ingredients so much for granted that very few of us would actually be able to differentiate toovar dal from arhar and red chana from kala chana! Well, they are the same, aren't they? We look only at the end-product and think that all dals and pulses look and taste similar; what is there in it! But the surprising fact is that in the raw form dals and pulses come in different colours, flavours and with varying degrees of nutrient-content. And it is not at all difficult to understand them; all it takes is a little time and inclination. Recently, on the 'Ask Tarla' section of our website, I received a query from an 18-year-old who was just foraying into the art of cooking. She wanted to cook moong dal, but was faced with three different versions of yellow-coloured dal toovar, chana and moong and she wanted to know which of these was moong and how to differentiate it from the other two dals.
