KSS works within 86 villages of Sitarganj block. 2312 women are linked with 220 self help groups that have further federated to a strong self reliant community based organization. The Federation has been registered as an autonomous body under Uttarakhand self reliant cooperative act 2003. All the groups save money regularly, have a bank account and have been able to take bank loans. Through microfinance 456 members of 46 SHGs are associated with livelihood activities. Remaining SHGs are practicing inter loan for their requirement. At present time total saving is Rs. 46,56,540.
