==Biography==
Shamshad Begum comes from [[Balod district]] (formerly a part of the undivided [[Durg district|Durg]]) in the Indian state of [[Chhattisgarh]]. As the president of a small village society operating in [[Gunderdehi]] block, Begum had an opportunity to get associated with the [[National Literacy Mission Programme]] of the Government of India and this paved the way for her entry into social service.<ref name="One India">{{cite web | url=http://www.oneindia.com/2008/10/21/shamshad-begum-chhattisgarh-empowering-women-1224590700.html | title=Shamshad Begum of Chhattisgarh empowering women | date=21 October 2008 | website=One India | access-date=4 December 2014}}</ref> It is reported that within six months of the launching of the Mission activities in Gunderdehi in 1995, Begum and her colleagues were able to make 12,269 women literate, out of the total 18265 illiterate women.<ref name="One India" />

Begum carried on with her social work even after the campaign activities ended and took up other social causes such as fighting against illegal land encroachments and closing down of liquor shops. It is reported that Begum was successful in setting up 1041 self-help groups in Balod district.<ref name="One India" /> These groups, with their small savings, have accumulated a corpus from where needy members can avail loans for domestic emergencies. The total savings of these groups are reported to have exceeded {{USD}} 2 million. The groups have since established cottage industries such as soap making and making wheels for bullock carts. They have also set up a ''Mahila Bhavan''.<ref name="One India" />
