Abstract:

Let's take a look at the lives of typical rural Indian women and understand what social norms and practices prevent them from achieving economic advancement. Our understanding will help unveil major barriers to women's participation in upskilling and employment generation programs offered by a leading local NGO- The Light of Life Trust (LOLT).

We will identify ways in which LOLT can address these barriers and increase women's enrollment in its program as well as their successful transition to employment after completion of the program. This will help women fulfill their foremost aspiration of achieving greater financial security!
