GFSPL conducts regular socio-economic development workshops (SED) in the communities the organization works in. These workshops draw participation from the entire community and essentially focus on relevant issues like health, sanitation, HIV/AIDS awareness, nutrition, family planning, income generation activities, enterprise development, law and financial literacy. Links are also being developed with other institutions so that the members can benefit from products and services like group insurance, personal insurance, health insurance, pension schemes, cottage industries, group enterprises, training in Panchayat Raj and other developmental programs at the government level. Resource persons at these workshops are experts from Government departments, NGOs, hospitals, police and lawyers. Every year two such workshops are conducted in each branch. Till date the company has conducted more than 700 SED workshops.
