Under Nari Gunjan initiative, Dalit women take strides towards self

Patna, Sep 19 (IANS) In a remarkable show of women's emancipation and empowerment, several women of the Musahar community – an extremely poor section of the Schedule Caste (SC) community have embarked on a new path of learning skills, laying a strong foundation for achieving ‘atmanirbharata’.

Six women members of the Musahar community from the Danapur block of Patna successfully completed training in automobile repairing skills and were also felicitated by tutors. These trained professionals are scaling new heights and are now set to drive pink buses.

The initiative was started by Nari Gunjan, an organisation working towards women's education and self-reliance.

The girls were honoured at the closing ceremony held at the campus in Lalkothi, Danapur.
