It started with the vision “Women Empowerment”.
Various inputs and talks are given to the members present like finance, law, health, politics, future of the children, etc. Under Sthree Sangatan, self-help groups have also been started to help every woman in various fields, especially financial matters. A lot of trainings have been conducted on topics like health, safety, finance, independence in life and other topics related to the development of women in society.
Women are no longer the weaker section of the society. They have to stand equal in every aspect of life. The Bishop of Udupi Diocese stresses on the empowerment and development of women for better attitudes and values in life. Let us pray that this association stands as the safety corner for all women in the society.
