“Gramin Mahila Kaushal Kendra” is an initiative under “MeraGaon, Meri Jimmedari” project in village Jaitpur, GautamBudh Nagar, Greater Noida to empower women by imparting skill development courses.
Although womenconstitute half of the world population, their participation in various activities are not the same as compared to men even today. Without the participation of women in the development process, society as a whole cannot be said to develop realistically. Nevertheless, due to gender discrimination, women tend to be granted an inferior status in nearly every aspect of life. The discrimination that they face is greater and more in developing countries than in developed countries.
Involvement in self-earning activities can empower rural women to enjoy their ability to reshape their lives.
The rural women’ daily routine of rural women include cooking, taking care of the family members, cattle rearing and maintaining the household. In their daily routine, all the women spend most of their time cooking , preparing to cook or taking care of small children and cattle at home. They do not think independently but are instead dependent on their husband’s knowledge or opinions.
Empowerment in simple term defines as power gain. It involves power over the control of one’s own life. With reference to women’s empowerment it includes power affecting their lives at multiple levels of the society.
SSRRC embarked its journey with a sincere effort to address these challenges by conducting skill development program to the rural women at village Jaitpur, Greater Noida, UP. SSRRC has earlier conducted the short term skill development program “Nari Shakti” where we have imparted six weeks training in tailoring, embroidery, beauty courses in collaboration with our Goodwill Ambassadors, which was a great success. On great demand of rural women of village Jaitpur, we are planning to open “Gramin Mahila Kaushal Kendra” a Women empowerment centre to provide the program for under privileged women of various strata of society. This year we have started the training sessions in community hall, in village school premises.
