As India steps confidently into a more inclusive and equitable future, the role of women has never been more pivotal. With global and national focus aligning on gender equality and empowerment, the transition from women’s development to women-led development is not just an aspiration—it’s a necessity.
India, as a signatory to several landmark international frameworks—including the Beijing Declaration (1995), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW, 1979), and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development —has embedded the principles of women empowerment and equality into its policy fabric. But it’s not just about catching up—it’s about leading the change.
In line with this, the Government of India’s recent call for ‘Nari Shakti Se Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India through Women Power) marks a bold shift in narrative: from merely developing women to making them drivers of development.
While policy and vision are moving in the right direction, the challenge lies in implementation—especially at the grassroots level. Millions of young girls and women in India still struggle to access basic resources such as quality education, vocational training, mentorship, and financial independence. Without these foundational pillars, empowerment remains a distant dream.
That’s where organizations like the Likhari Foundation come in.
At Likhari Foundation, we are proud to be part of this national movement—by focusing on skill development, education, and empowerment of underprivileged girls and women. Our aim is simple yet transformative: to turn potential into progress, and dreams into tangible futures.
We’re working to ensure that every girl with potential, no matter her background, becomes a catalyst for growth in her community.
Empowered women lead to empowered societies. When women take the lead—whether in homes, businesses, or governance—the ripple effect is undeniable. It is often concluded that women reinvest up to 90% of their income into their families and communities, amplifying impact and accelerating inclusive growth.
By integrating skill development and social support with a mission of ethical, purpose-driven leadership, Likhari Foundation is nurturing the very pillars of a Viksit Bharat —led by Nari Shakti.
Support a girl. Mentor a dream. Build the future.
Because when women lead, India rises.
