We often hear people saying ‘‘educate a woman and the whole family will be educated’’ the same as education skilling is also a major factor in this era. Having mastery in a particular skill can lead one to opportunities that they deserve. Over the previous years, there has been a consistent expansion in women empowerment but there is a section that needs attention considering the present scenario i.e.rural areas. Women should have self-esteem, certainty, and the opportunity to pick their necessities and prerequisites but many fall under the category of underserved and underprivileged. To provide this section an upliftment they deserve and to celebrate their existence some organizations are working as a backbone behind this. From providing them skill training in different verticals to make them sufficient enough to feed their family and see a bright future tomorrow.
