Fyunli Kauthig is an auspicious day of festivities that we celebrate with the women associated with us. It is our way to thank the community who stand tall with us,  just like the mighty Himalayas disaster after disaster.  In Uttarakhand’s mountain terrain, it is  the women who make the backbone of rural economy.  Sewa International bows down to these women toiling in the fields, raising the children, managing the households, livestock and still finding a way to give back to the community its essence of life and joy. The festival of Fyunli Kauthig which is celebrated on the occasion of International Women’s Day every year on 8th March since 2016 in Uttarakhand by the Sewa family is to acknowledge their hardships and cherish their success. 

The purpose of organizing first Fyunli Kauthig in 2016 was to create a platform for the women working with us, to get inspired to bring the change that their generations dream of.This time, the concept will be driven by the women, who no longer would need to be on the passenger seat and will celebrate with each other while organizing this event. In the last 5 years, the event has seen new highs, with eminent personalities, social workers, sportspersons and environmentalists attending the event along with the participation of over 9 thousand women from the remotest locations in mountains.
