Explores how livelihood programs are empowering women and changing their lives for the better

Livelihood programs for women in India aim to provide skill development opportunities that lead to income generation and self-reliance. These programs offer vocational training, entrepreneurship support, and community-based learning to help women build careers, start businesses, and contribute to the local economy. They address challenges such as lack of education, limited mobility, social barriers, and access to capital. By offering training in market-relevant skills, financial literacy, and post-training support, these programs create sustainable outcomes such as increased household income, greater participation in decision-making, and reduced migration. Case studies from Pune and Kolkata demonstrate the impact of these programs on women's economic empowerment and social mobility in underserved communities.
