DGVS promotes the formation of Self-Help Groups where women come together to save money, access credit, and support each other. These groups act as a foundation for financial independence and collective growth.
We provide financial support and training to help women start small businesses such as tailoring, handicrafts, and food processing. This enables them to generate income and support their families.
DGVS organizes training programs in areas like stitching, handicrafts, digital literacy, and small-scale industries to enhance employability and entrepreneurship among women.
We conduct awareness campaigns on women’s rights, health, education, and social issues, helping women make informed decisions and participate actively in society.
Women empowerment is central to DGVS’s mission of inclusive rural development. In many rural areas, women face challenges such as limited access to education, financial resources, and decision-making opportunities. DGVS works to address these issues by creating platforms where women can learn, grow, and lead. Through structured programs, we aim to improve their confidence, economic independence, and social status, enabling them to become active contributors to their families and communities.
Empowering women leads to stronger families, better education for children, improved health outcomes, and overall community development. When women become financially independent and socially aware, they contribute significantly to economic growth and social transformation.
Real Stories, Real Change
A rural woman started her own tailoring business through DGVS training and now earns a stable income for her family.
Women from a village formed an SHG and successfully started a small food business, improving their financial condition.
Gender equality remains a burning issue even when women play equally important roles in driving the rural economy in India. Women have always been facing the inequitable distribution of domestic chores besides other responsibilities such as fetching water, collecting firewood and even working in the farms. This is severely impacting their physical security, opportunities for adult education, overall productivity, income generation capacity, nutritional status, and overall health and well-being.
DGVS is driving initiatives to reduce the ‘time poverty’ and drudgery of women, provide them with access to economic opportunities and enable their participation in decision-making, so that they become equal partners in the development process. DGVS believes that women’s empowerment is a process of reflection and action aimed at raising self-esteem, confidence and consciousness, enabling them to access their entitlements and to improve the health and quality of life. DGVS Establishes mechanisms that promote women’s participation in community and social activities facilitating the fulfilment of women’s potential through education, skill development, and employment.
