Women empowerment has deep roots in India’s history. From the Indus Valley Civilization to the Mahabharata era, women held respected positions in society, administration, and governance. Today, constitutional rights ensure equality — but true empowerment requires economic independence.
With this vision, Shabdkruti Foundation has been actively working toward women empowerment in rural Maharashtra.
Women Skill Development Program in Wani
To promote employment generation for women, Shabdkruti Foundation organized a flower garland making training workshop in Wani on October 10, 2021.

Employment Generation Post-COVID
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected employment across rural and semi-urban India. Many families lost stable income sources.
Recognizing this challenge, Adv. Yogesh Chindaliya, Managing Director of Shabdkruti Foundation, emphasized that creating livelihood opportunities is a social responsibility.
Rather than offering temporary aid, the foundation focuses on:
- Sustainable skill training
- Micro-enterprise development
- Encouraging self-employment
This approach strengthens long-term financial resilience.
Community Support and Leadership
The program was presided over by Adv. Shridhar Jhade.
The initiative was supported by:
- Adv. Govinda Dhorke
- Rahul Khamankar
Their presence reflects the importance of community collaboration in advancing women entrepreneurship initiatives in Yavatmal district.
