Dear Reader Namaste!

Many Greetings from RSKS India….

Women of rural India have always been the backbone of the family and society. But when they get proper guidance, training and self-confidence, they become powerful carriers of change in the society. The Jeevan Kaushal Capacity Building Program organized by RSKS India with the women of Self Help Group (SHG) is an important and inspiring initiative towards realizing this thought. This program not only inspires women towards personal development, but also makes them socially, economically and mentally self-reliant.

The main objective of this program was to provide necessary life skills to the women associated with SHG, so that they can take decisions with confidence in their life, lead, communicate and face challenges strongly. Also, this initiative enables them to play a better role at the domestic and community level.

The training programme organised by RSKS India focused on the following life skills:

Development of self-confidence and self-esteem

Problem solving and decision making skills

Communication skills

Teamwork and leadership skills

Time management and goal setting

Understanding health, hygiene and mental health

The programme taught these topics through class discussions, role-plays, group exercises and creative activities, which enabled the women to not only gain knowledge but also put it into practice.

Women from SHG groups participated enthusiastically in the training programme. Many women said that this was the first time they spoke openly, shared their views and introspected.

One participant emotionally said, “For the first time we felt that our voices mattered. Now we feel capable of taking our own decisions.” This statement itself reflects the success of the programme.

The programme gave rise to new confidence, clear thinking and a sense of leadership among the women. They are now playing a more active role in their SHG groups, participating in household decisions and making others aware. Also, they have gained confidence to move towards self-employment or small enterprise through their skills.

This life skills capacity building program of RSKS India lays the foundation for change in the lives of SHG women. This initiative proves that when women recognize their inner strength, they can take not only their family but the entire society forward.

We should encourage such efforts, so that every woman can become empowered, self-reliant and an inspiration. Only when women are empowered, the vision of a strong India can be realized.

We highly value your feedback, suggestions, and comments on our programs. Please feel free to reach out to us at admin@rsksindia.ngo
