Rural women are key agents for development. They play a catalytic role towards achievement of transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development. But limited access to credit, health care and education are among the many challenges they face. These are further aggravated by the global food and economic crisis and climate change. Empowering them is essential, not only for the well-being of individuals, families and rural communities, but also for overall economic productivity, given women’s large presence in the agricultural workforce worldwide.


Also Women Power understands the importance of entrepreneur education among university students and has proposed to develop Business Incubator Centers which organizes various production/assembling exercises in colleges.

WOMEN POWER - Empowering Women
While women, especially in the rural areas, are enthusiastic to convert their skills into tangible items like arts and crafts, handicrafts, everyday consumables, healthcare, etc, they do not have direct access to customers. This need is what Women Power will fulfill. Women Power will develop entrepreneurs, through NGOs and will be a brand which will exclusively sell these women-made products. The brain child of this is Dr.Ravichandran, Professor in New York Institute of Technology at Abu Dhabi. An astute and result oriented professional with 22 years of extensive experience in operations, business development, academics and institution building. He has received many awards, the most recent one being Championship Award from WSIS 2019 an UN forum for developing Arpuda App - a sustainable educational model.
