Over the past few years there has been growing talks in women empowerment. As part of the programme women self-help groups are formed which are successfully used in many areas to bring in a social change. In this year we organised 2 Awareness-cum-Training Camps in Kakatpur & Kenderapati G.P. In these camps women were explained the concept of SHG and the possible advantages that they can derive by forming viable groups. The leaders of the SHGs were also trained on EDP and various income generation activities that they will be able to undertake on commercial terms. During training, giving more emphasis on capacity building of self help group leaders. Presently PYSO promoted 100 SHGs in Kakatpur, Katakana, Kundhei and Lataharan G.P of Kakatpur Block and kendrapati & saripur G.P of Astarang. For their Capacitybuilding we organised capacity building trainng for them. We also links these groups with the banks and other institutions. Among the groups, some of groups are running business in their locality successfully.
