Collective Action

"Collective Action" most of the times seems to strike the cord among the poor people. The very reason for this phenomena may be that the poor are not economically sound enough to pool in enough resources for a particular activity. If they are made aware of of a potential income source which can be tapped then obviously the people will come forward together, which would not only benefit them but the entire community. Moreover one can also say that collective action is simply not for the poor. Everyone can reap the benefits out of it. With time people have begun to understand the positive aspects of collective efforts and nowadays this is also visible in almost every sector starting from the ground level to big organizations.

Unavailability of sources of income generation motivates the poor to take the form of co-operatives. There is also a feeling of unity among the likes and the capability to work against all odds to fulfill the common goal of income generation. "United we stand divided we fall"
