Empowering Women's with Sustainable Livelihood

The village Gudha, near the religious city Pushkar in Ajmer district has water problem, because of what agricultural production has been reducing slowly. There is a lack of employment and the population doesn’t have any sustainable means of livelihood. So, Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan told two women self help group about Self Employment and Skill Development in November 2014.

Women of Nagnechi and Jagdamba women self help groups showed interest to take vocational education. Thereafter, the qualified instructor of Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan provide training for bag making and Rajasthani handicraft successfully to 22 women of Nagnechi and Jagdamba women self help groups from 24 December 2014 to 2 January 2015 under the project “Empowering Poor women with sustainable livelihood”.

A shop is also being provided in handicraft exhibition to women self help groups for marketing support so that women group may get a fair price for their product and get rid of the brokers. Now these women are happy since they have got employment at their doors. Now their standard of living and economic level is getting increased.

In the words of Manju Devi, 36 years aged member of women self help group: -
