Business School for Rural Women in Maharashtra Photo Gallery

Women learning how to make cotton bags

Low start up costs are crucial for the initiation of any micro enterprise. Here at Mann Vikas we teach skills to our women that can be easily turned into a business with only a small purchase of basic materials, such as cloth or a sewing machine. In this picture, the women are learning how to produce decorative cotton bags that can be sold at the local market.

Computer classes

Computer classes taught through our business school connect rural women to a globalizing world, endow them with marketable skills and confidence, and grant them access to a new medium of self-directed learning.

Financial literacy

This financial literacy class, taught by the branch manager of our Vaduj bank location, teaches students the basics of savings, debt management, and bank services. These classes are crucial to teaching healthy financial habits and promoting the inclusion of marginalized, rural populations.

Tailoring class

A tailoring class at the Vaduj branch learns how to design and sew a handbag. Tailoring provides a steady and comfortable living.

Women participating in computer class

Given our rapidly globalizing economy, we feel it is imperative for our women to gain basic computer literacy skills. In this picture, you can see a few of our rural women learning basic computer skills that can help them find higher paying jobs.
