It’s been more than 60 years that we have obtained independence, but women of our country are still struggling for their rights. It’s very sad to see Indian women especially in lower sectors, who are still being abused and harassed. The core reason for facing all the hardships is just because they are dependent, dependent on their husbands or male family members, who take women for granted, I’ve seen many women who were beaten and harassed for simple things and these women quietly took all the pain and are dependent on some one. I’ve been closely working with them and am providing them with shelter, employment, skill training etc. and I’m looking forward to expand my services and get in touch with other organizations, which are doing the same kind of job.

Well, i'm pleased to inform you that NASSCOM Foundation has taken many initiatives in various sector for women development and skill training,here's one of the case studies that could help you learn about the organisation's work.
"Muslim girls with traditional skills of mehendi had enrolled with the NKN Telecenter in old Hyderabad city, supported and managed by an NGO called Technology for the People (TFTP). These girls were forced to drop out of school as they had to earn a living. TFTP brought in a new lease of life when they combined education with an alternate livelihood skill for these girls that motivated their parents to allow them to attend classes at this centre. In about six months, the girls not only learnt animation skills as per industry standards but also started to do well in academics. One year into the program, many girls have now completed their tenth class and are also churning out production work for an animation company that helps them earn anything between Rs.3000-8000/- per month.
All this would not have been possible without the combined efforts of an animation company called Star Features and TFTP supported by NASSCOM Foundation. This partnership is a good example of how industry along with non-profits can innovate solutions, based on the needs at the grass root. NASSCOM Foundation would be delighted to partner with many other corporates to find similar solutions for rural and grassroot communities."
