Self Help Groups:

The members of the SHGs are the main motivating force in social animation work in all the centres of the Province.  They enable the village womenfolk to be financially in a better position.  They also take up important issues of concern for the villagers.  Creation of social awareness is brought in through various activities among girls, children, women, etc.  Social unjust practices are powerfully tackled by the SHG members.

Celebrations of Girls Child Day, Women’s Day, Literacy Day, Human Rights Day, Independence Day, etc. enable us to spread greater social awareness among our beneficiaries.
