The Kudumbashree is synonymous with women neighbourhood group (NHG) members engaging in thrift and microentrepreneurial activities. To give the women empowerment mission a more youthful face and strengthen auxiliary groups that comprise educated women in the 18-40 age group, the Kudumbashree Thiruvananthapuram district mission will kick off ‘Auxo Meet@24’ at Balaramapuram on Sunday.
The district mission was observing 2024 as Auxo Year, Kudumbashree district mission coordinator B. Sreejith said. As part of it, the district mission planned to increasingly engage with the young women in the auxiliary groups, bring professionals into the groups, and support young women who wanted to enter the professional sector by providing them skill training and organising personality development programmes for them, he said.
Programmes to increase the young women’s confidence, self-esteem, and develop their soft skills will be held as part of Auxo Year. Entrepreneurship development programme will also be conducted for them this year.
