Creation Of Self-Employment Opportunity
Handicrafts/producers development: Today in the society the poor women-folk are very neglected to the male-folk. Socially the poor women have home-based life where they work only in their house but not outside. But SPA observed that they have enough scope to earn if they are involved in various income generating activities inside and outside the house. Employment creation in the rural areas is much difficult. Lakh of unemployed youths are trying their best for employment but there is no employment opportunity. So it is very difficult to arrange employment in the rural areas for the illiterate and disadvantaged women folk. For these women the organization has undertaken micro-credit program by which they can undertake small income generating activities for their self-employment and family income development. For the women group members it has undertaken micro-credit program by which they can undertake handicrafts activities for their self-employment and family income development.
