Women Empowerment Program (WEP)<br />

The women belong to the most disadvantaged section of the community. This program was structured to <br />

impart skill development and financial stability among the rural women so that they can augment the <br />

family income and share the role of the bread-­‐winner. The women organizer was provided with information <br />

on welfare measures and knowledge about the functioning of SHGs for better management. She enables <br />

the rural women to avail the Government schemes and the bank loans. <br />

The women organizers maintained contact with their respective Mandal Development offices to help the <br />

women access the information available with the officials concerning the women empowerment programs. <br />

With the information gained at those offices the women get organized to avail those programs. A special <br />

training camp was organized, in the month of July <strong>2012</strong>, at Head Office, Pedakakani, during which six <br />

women organizers learnt about Self Help Groups, Small Savings Credit Program (SSCP), Old age pensions, <br />

Deepam, Rights of Women, Sakshara Bharathi, Indira Kranthi, etc. Such trainings helped them to assist <br />

DWCRA (Development of Women and Children in Rural Area) group and the marginalized people in the <br />

community such as old people, widows to obtain pensions. <br />

Besides, they also train the village women on skills such as sari painting, hand embroidery, making of leaf <br />

plates, stitching plastic bags, preparing flower vase with wool etc. <br />
