Who is the author of the book “Anubandh”?

Ela Bhatt
The book “Anubandh: Building 100-mile communities” has been authored by Ela Bhatt, noted Gandhian and the force behind the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA). The book makes an appeal to build holistic and mutually beneficial communities to cater to the basic needs of daily life: food (including water), clothing, education, health, housing, education and banking. It also presents the idea of creating local communities within a 100-mile radius to cater to livelihoods and sustainable living. In a way, this originates from Gandhi’s belief of self-sustaining communities.
