Gitanjali Foundation Empowers Rural Women in West Bengal

Gitanjali Foundation, a charitable, non-profit making organization, has been working in the remote districts of West Bengal for uplifting the socially backward classes. As part of its efforts to empower women, the foundation recently organized a program for economically backward, rural housewives. The program was organized under the scheme of Utkarsa Bangla, a state government scheme to prepare the unemployed youth and provide them with a source of livelihood.

The program was designed to provide the women with skills training in various areas, such as tailoring, embroidery, and computer operation. The training was provided by experienced trainers, and the women were also given access to a sewing machine and other equipment. In addition to the skills training, the women also received counseling on a variety of topics, such as financial literacy, health, and family planning.

The program was a success, and the women who participated gained valuable skills and knowledge. They are now able to earn a livelihood for themselves and their families, and they are also better equipped to make informed decisions about their lives.

The program was funded by the Utkarsa Bangla scheme, and the foundation is grateful for the support of the state government. The foundation is also grateful to the sponsors who contributed to the program.

The foundation is committed to empowering women in West Bengal, and it plans to continue to organize programs like this one in the future. The foundation believes that women are the key to social and economic development, and it is committed to helping them reach their full potential.

Here are some of the benefits of the program:
