An Inspiring story of a dedicated women and her tireless efforts for women's empowerment in rural India. Such women need recognition with Padma Bhushan.
Udyogini Business School opened in January 2007 in a drought-prone village in Maharashtra State in India. It is the country’s first and only business school for unlettered rural women—no educational degree of any kind is required for admittance. According to the Asia Sentinel, an English-language newspaper reporting on Asia, the institution is designed to allow greater number of poor women to participate in microcredit by coaching them in entrepreneurship, accountancy, bank finance, marketing skills, and confidence-building. It also offers a wide variety of courses on how to run enterprises in areas such as purse and bag making, photography, screen-printing and mobile telephony.
Udyogini Business School charges Rs150 for a three-month basic course and Rs600 for a six-month advanced one. When the school opened, almost 150 women enrolled themselves in various courses, and in the next five years it plans to admit over 350 students per course. Additionally, the number and variety of courses offered is expected to expand, as are locations. “Initially when we started, we got a lukewarm response, but today it is teeming with students. We are now focusing on young girls, who, often due to family pressure, are married off without consent," Chetna Gala Sinha, founder of the
nitish kumar action has boomranged on him. his returning of cheque of 5 crore to modi has been a funniest action taken from a mad politician.
first question, y didnt he utilise the money for 2 long years when the same was given by guj ppl to help reduce the sufferings of bihar ppl.
then, y didnt nitish return the cheque then. y now, when elections r near.
y did nitish come to hug modi n take the photo with him n then subsequently angry over the photo.
whats the fault of photographer whom he has punished wen nitish himself is holding the hand with modi.
such behaviour is not done even between 2 enemy countries like ind pak. even ind or pak wudnt hv returned such money paid during natural calamity. n here, one state leader of ind is behaving childishly with other state leader.
lastly it wasnt modi's money that nitish returned, its an insult to both of guj ppl n bihar ppl.
nitish has become biggest cartoon after manmohan singh in ind.
"the foundation under the leadership of Chetna won the case of recognition of women as co-owners of household property. This policy breakthrough enabled more than 600,000 women in Maharashtra to prevent the sale and divestment of household property by their men"
