Aim is to find income opportunities for women in the 18-40 age group
Nearly one lakh young women are expected to become part of 2,000 auxiliary groups planned by the Kudumbashree Mission in the district.
The Kudumbashree auxiliary groups are aimed at empowerment of women between the ages of 18 and 40, financial development of their families, and providing the women a platform for making social interventions. The groups will have a maximum of 50 members each. The aim is to make available income-generating opportunities to educated women.
The Kudumbashree recently organised a district-level workshop in connection with the formation of the auxiliary groups. More than 200 people, including district mission officials, Kudumbashree community development society (CDS) chairpersons, accountants, and coastal volunteers, were provided training at the workshop.
