Auxiliary groups to help them fine-tune skills and join hands for fresh initiatives
The Kudumbashree Mission has launched a new platform to help young women fine-tune their skills, address social issues, and join hands for fresh initiatives. There are around 45 lakh women under the Kudumbashree Mission in the State. However, those below the age of 40 make up only about 10% of the total membership, mission sources said.
The platform, called Kudumbashree Auxiliary Groups, will welcome women between the ages of 18 and 40. Women in this age group face a variety of issues, and auxiliary groups will help them, Kudumbashree sources said.
There has been a rise in cases of attack on women, dowry-related deaths, and paucity of jobs. The groups will train women in handling various issues. Any woman in the said age group can take membership in auxiliary groups irrespective of their economic status.
