Joint liability groups (JLGs) of women, many landless, lease and farm land in common, accessing credit, inputs and markets collectively. Around 61,836 JLGs and ~280,000 women farm approx. 38,706 hectares.

The Kerala government adopted it as its official site. ~1,500 technologists collaborated for free (some 69 in the main repo) and it received millions of requests. After the emergency the service stopped being maintained and the domain went inactive/for sale; the durable legacy is the open source repositories.
