In the heart of rural India, countless women hold untapped potential, brimming with resilience and dreams of a brighter tomorrow. At The George Telegraph, our CSR initiatives are not just about training—they’re about transformation. We take pride in empowering women to rewrite their narratives, moving from subsistence living to thriving in sustainable livelihoods.
The Power of Empowerment
Women in rural India face significant challenges, from limited access to education to constrained economic opportunities. Recognizing these barriers, our programs are designed to provide skills that are both market-relevant and transformative, enabling women to take control of their futures.
Our Approach
- Skill Development: Training in fields like healthcare, phlebotomy, beauty & wellness, retail sales, and front-office management.
- Entrepreneurship Training: Workshops that teach women to start and manage small businesses, including soap making, agarbatti production, and food processing.
- Financial Literacy: Equipping women with knowledge of banking systems, government schemes, and digital tools to manage and grow their finances.
