Asha-Stars Projects require involvement and participation from the volunteers in the projects. This can be facilitated and made more efficient by sharing resources with other projects with similar goals in a similar setting. The region-based groups have been set-up with this goal in mind. Some functions of the regional groups are:

Build resources - information about government schemes in a state, education resource centre in an area, books and education material specific to the region, ... - and share them among the projects in a particular region.
Moreover, this also helps us link up project-partners in a specific region to increse the effectiveness of their work.
Help identify effective grass-root efforts and identifying Asha-Stars who will commit to work with these groups towards specific time-bound goals.
Bring together projects in a region, share experiences to learn across projects and to provide the critical support to projects when necessary to ensure their success
