women oriented programs
Women Oriented Programs
Bal Bharti Academy has initiated numerous efforts for women empowerment. Self help groups for women, tailoring classes and broom makings for women, special health camps for women etc. are few of them.
We encourage girls for Bal Bharti Academy’s Trainings to bring forth the leadership qualities.
Women empowerment is to the creation of an environment where women can make independent decisions on their personal development as well as shine as equals in society. Empowerment of women does not come merely with a graduation, or a PG degree empowerment comes, when women have an understanding of their capabilities and are able to take independent decisions and making women more conscious of their rights and responsibilities and to achieve economic capability and also importance of their socio – economic development. This programs have helped to spread knowledge about health care and nutrition, thereby enabling mothers to keep their family in better health and to care better for their children. The socio-economic empowerment approach has relied on improving women’s control over economic resources and strengthening women’s economic security. The results also suggest that policies to rise women’s age at marriage enhance their educations and open greater employment opportunities will also help to empower them, at least in some respects. Our goal is to cause policy, institutional and individual change that will improve the lives of women and girls. Our training will help women as a multi – dimensional social process that gain control over their own lives
