National Council of Women in India

The National Council of Women in India (NCWI) is a women's organization in India, founded in 1925. It was the second of the first three major feminist organizations in India, alongside Women's Indian Association (WIA) and All-India Women's Conference (AIWC), and India's first representative in the International Council of Women (ICW) as the predecessor of the AIWC. The NCWI was founded by Lady Aberdeen of the ICW and Lady Meherbai Tata (wife of Dorabji Tata), as the Indian representative of the ICW. Having visited Europe, Lady Tata became convinced that India needed women to organize in a women's movement the same way as European women.
