Every GI Panchayath must inculcate the habit of Savings among its members.
The Principle of Thrift not only signifies the idea of savings but also promotes the idea of avoiding unnecessary expenditure. This is the first step towards self-help.

All members of GI Panchayath shall believe in the principle “All for One and One for All”, according to which every member should believe that his/her burden is reduced only by addressing to the burden of his fellow members. Self-help and mutual aid is the essence of GI Panchayath.
