In rural India, unemployment & underemployment is very high especially amongst women & adolescent girls. People do not think necessary providing opportunities to the women & adolescent girls for modern education & vocational skills due to their poverty, tradition & current trend in the society like just boys. They think also that women & girls are only for cooking food, home chores & giving baby child, because of this, women & adolescent girls are forced to live dependent, deprived, bias, voiceless, marginalized life and relegated to the status of subjugated class.

NGO through this project will strive to make them self-reliant, restore their dignity and empower them through moral education, vocational skills and opportunities for entrepreneurship & job.it will improve quality of life, role & participation contributing for family system & country as well.
