Uplift of women in the 18-40 age group
Auxiliary groups under the Kudumbashree mission for social, cultural, and livelihood uplift of women in the 18-40 age group will be launched across the State on October 2, Gandhi Jayanti day, Minister for Local Self-government M.V. Govindan has said.
The Minister, in a statement on Thursday, said that although Kudumbashree, an important agency for implementing various projects and programmes of the Union and the State governments, had over 45 lakh women as neighbourhood group (NHG) members, those between the ages of 18 and 40 comprised only 10%.
This was owing to constraints such as limiting NHGs membership to one woman from a family. The auxiliary groups for young women was a solution to the problem.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
