Kudumbashree auxiliary groups that have been dormant to a large extent are set to get a fresh boost with Auxo Meet, a gathering of the group members on the lines of the Kudumbashree’s recent ‘Back to School’ programme.
The meet on December 23 will see nearly 2 lakh auxiliary group members get together in schools with the aim of strengthening the groups and bring about a transformation in their process, including intervention in social and financial matters and equipping them to contribute to development of a knowledge economy.
The auxiliary groups were formed to empower educated women in the 18-40 age group, primarily through achievement of financial independence, and engage in social and other issues that women face.
