Why Women Empowerment

Rural women empowerment in India is essential for economic independence, driving community and national growth. Empowered women boost household incomes, enhance financial stability, and contribute to economic resilience. Bridging gender gaps in labor participation can increase India’s GDP by 27%. With over 65% of the population in rural areas, empowering women through education and entrepreneurship unlocks significant economic potential. This reduces poverty and promotes sustainable development.

Why Empowering Women through Animal husbandry ?

Animal husbandry, particularly goatery, plays a crucial role in enhancing women’s livelihoods in India. Approximately  70% of rural households in India engage in livestock rearing, with women contributing significantly. In regions like West Bengal, goat farming provides a viable income source, requiring low investment and offering quick returns. Studies show that women involved in goatery can increase their household income by up to 30%, thereby improving their financial stability and social status.

Bharatiya Jana Seva Mission stands out as premier NGO working for women empowerment in India, it focuses on creating self-reliant women entrepreneurs in sectors like animal husbandry specially goat rearing. Through its commitment to sustainable livelihoods, the organization empowers women by providing skill development, mentorship, and business opportunities. Our targeted efforts ensure long-term impact, transforming marginalized women’s lives by fostering economic independence and community growth across rural India.
