Explorations Annual Report 1992-93 Mahila Samakhya Gujarat

Abstract

From Introduction: Mahila Samakhya (Education for women's Equality) Programme is unique in its approach towards women's education. As the project document of September 1991 remarks ''the approach has been integrated into comprehensive educational projects and accepted as a viable method for mobilizing adult women for literacy... Mahila Samakhya programme presupposes that education can be a decisive intervention towards women's equality. Its overall goal is to create circumstances to enable women to better understand their predicament, to move from a state of abject disempowerment towards a situation in which they can determine their own lives and influence their environment and simultaneously create for themselves and their family an educational opportunity which serves the process of their development."
