Women Empowerment
Empowering women is very important considering the current trend of sustainable development sector. Apart from household work, women also help in farming and animal husbandry. Most families in rural areas depend on farming and animal husbandry, whereas when men go to work, the responsibility of the entire family falls on their shoulders.The good future of children also depends on them, so now we cannot ignore women any more, we have to make them literate and organize them through SHGs so that they help in increasing their family income. Therefore, Apna Sansthan focused on strengthening their economic condition and leading them towards self-reliance.
Through promotion of savings and credit groups and their capacity building, additional employment opportunities were created by income generating activities.
Apna Sansthan adopted the concept of formation and promotion of SHGs from the very beginning and now more than 100 such groups are working in the villages of the area (Bhinder, Vallabhnagar, Lasadiya, Kurabad etc.) tehsil. These groups hold their meetings every month and regularly and discuss their problems and find solutions together.'Apna Sansthan has been successful in connecting some of these groups to local rural banks for their additional financial needs.
