Women Empowerment
तू बस आगे बढ़के ठान ले तो कदमों पर तेरे है कामयाबी |
स्वतंत्रता, संस्कृति, सम्मान, शक्ति सब तुझसे ही है ||
वो आत्मविश्वासी नारी तू है नारायणी |||
Women Empowerment
Rakshaks Foundation, recognized as the best NGO in Dwarka, has been organizing awareness programs in collaboration with the Central Board of Worker Education, Government of India, focusing on various aspects of women empowerment. These programs cover essential topics such as Saving Schemes, Education Rights, Fundamental Rights, Health & Hygiene, among others. As a leading NGO in Delhi and NGO in Matiyala, we are committed to uplifting communities and empowering women through these vital initiatives.
Our awareness programs are designed to address the most pressing needs of women in our communities. By covering essential topics such as Saving Schemes, Education Rights, Fundamental Rights, and Health & Hygiene, we provide women with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate their lives with confidence and autonomy. These programs are not just about education; they are about fostering a sense of self-reliance and empowerment among women.
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
The Rakshaks Foundation invited Ms. Suchi, Project Coordinator from Salam Balak Trust, who shared her extensive knowledge on child education. She provided insights into the Right to Education, emphasizing that every child is entitled to free education up to the 8th standard in government schools, where they also receive free books, stationery, and uniforms. Additionally, she informed the community about the 25% EWS quota in public schools for families below the poverty line. To secure admission in these schools, online registration is required before March. This session was highly beneficial and offered valuable guidance to community members.

The Foundation also invited Dr. Pushpanjali Gupta, a Tuberculosis specialist from the Delhi Government Dispensary in Shahadara.
