Gram Panchayat women lead their village in COVID-19 Response
Sita Devi, panchayat member of Ladaura village, Kalyanpur, Bihar made house-to-house visits in her ward to make people, especially women, aware about the government guidelines pertaining to COVID-19 prevention. At Sehgal Foundation, our approach to create women collectives called mahila sangathans and village leadership schools to train and engage with citizens have gone a long way in empowering women to participate effectively in local governance. Help us strengthen our grassroots leadership programs and help many villagers overcome the fight against COVID-19. |
