Women Empowerment

WEDS, aimed at Diversifying Rural Incomes Via Employment, employs a comprehensive approach to bolster income-generating activities and broaden livelihood prospects. This initiative involves the training of stakeholder functionaries in livelihoods and income diversification, creating a skilled workforce. About 500 Women collectives and Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are empowered to explore diverse sources of livelihood. Access to finance for SHGs is facilitated to boost financial inclusion. Additionally, men are linked to skilling programs and non-farm employment opportunities, enabling a more diversified income base. In summary, DRIWE seeks to transform rural economies by enhancing skills, empowering women, promoting financial inclusion, and expanding income sources for a more prosperous and resilient rural community.
