Kudumbashree is a classic example of how projects implemented in the State today are taken up by the country tomorrow, Minister for Local Self-Governments M.B. Rajesh has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Kudumbashree’s Snehitha gender help desk at Vithura in the district on Tuesday. Snehitha was launched in 2013 to provide protection, legal help, and livelihood opportunities to women and children facing abuse.
The Minister said the Kudumbashree in Kerala had become an inspiration for starting women empowerment collectives across the country. The Kudumbashree model was studied both within the country and by other countries. Seeing the Kudumbashree women go to school as part of the ‘Back to School’ campaign was heartening.
