DIPHU, May 03: A women empowerment programme was organised by the CHD Group at Bamonpo College, Jengkha in West Karbi Anglong on May 03.
The Special Consultative Status with the UNECOSOC, was held under the flagship initiative of The Family Pillar Alliance Program in association with Kantar India Foundation.
The group has trained around 40 women as General Duty Assistants in West Karbi Anglong District of Assam in partnership with Bamonpo College, Rotary e-connect and Sardokpo Ronghang Memorial Academy. The Family Pillar Alliance is a concept curated by the Edward & Cynthia Institute of Public Health, Mangalore.
The entire training is focused on rural women who are unemployed and lack skills to work in the healthcare industry. They learnt the art of nursing aide and then are mandatorily trained in practical lessons at the hospital after which they are certified and supported for job placements all around the country. So far in the previous setting about 35 women were trained and now about 40 women have undergone training in the hill district. Kantar India Foundation has been an ally of CHD Group and have worked closely in the past on numerous developmental initiatives which have transformed the Indian healthcare landscape and benefitted over 65,000 people collectively.
