Training and Skill Development Programme by LVSS

Techno-Managerial Skills for Rural Women

Supported by NCJD, LVSS conducted a specialized training program for rural women in Alwar, Rajasthan, with a focus on women from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

2. Economic Empowerment: Enabling women to establish micro and small enterprises, thereby strengthening economically disadvantaged communities.
3. Social Transformation: Raising awareness about literacy, health, nutrition, family welfare, and legal rights, empowering women to actively participate in their communities.
