Saanchi, an initiative under the Draupadi Devi Welfare Organisation in Odisha, is a training centre dedicated to empowering women, specially-abled individuals, and marginalized communities. Through comprehensive education, skill-building programs, and health awareness initiatives, Saanchi aims to foster independence and self-sufficiency among those who need it most.
Promoting Awareness and Encouraging Action
At Saanchi, we believe that true empowerment begins with awareness and education. Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges faced by women and specially-abled individuals, offering them a chance to develop essential skills that open doors to economic independence and personal growth.
Key Initiatives at Saanchi
- Education and Skill Development: We provide tailored educational workshops and skill training to equip our community with knowledge and practical expertise, laying a strong foundation for self-reliance.
- Soft Skills Training: Recognizing the importance of personal development, Saanchi offers soft skills training, helping individuals build confidence, communication skills, and the resilience needed to thrive in both personal and professional environments.
- Sanitary Pad Production and Health Campaigns: In addition to skill development, Saanchi is committed to raising health awareness. Our sanitary pad production program not only ensures access to affordable menstrual products but also serves as a skill-building opportunity for women in our community. Through health awareness campaigns, we educate on hygiene, menstrual health, and overall well-being.
- Pathways to Self-Sufficiency: By combining practical training with health education, Saanchi aims to create lasting impact, giving women and specially-abled individuals the tools they need to reach their full potential and lead independent lives.
I am deeply committed to the mission of creating a nurturing and empowering space for women, specially-abled individuals, and marginalized communities. At Saanchi, we don’t just teach skills; we ignite a spark of confidence and independence. Each person who walks through our doors carries a unique set of strengths and dreams, and it is our goal to provide them with the tools to bring those dreams to life. Our work goes beyond sanitary pad production or skill-building. It’s about transforming lives and providing people the opportunity to rise above societal challenges. We want every individual here to walk out with a stronger sense of self, ready to face the world with pride and resilience. Together, we’re fostering a community of empowered individuals who inspire each other to grow, support one another, and ultimately lead fulfilling, independent lives. – Shalini Kaushik
Our Vision: Independence and Fulfillment for All
Saanchi’s ultimate goal is to foster an inclusive environment where everyone can strive for self-sufficiency, independence, and a fulfilling life. By providing access to quality education and essential skills, we’re working towards a future where marginalized individuals can confidently pursue their goals, overcome societal limitations, and become active contributors to their communities.
Through Saanchi, we’re not only promoting self-reliance but building a community that values growth, resilience, and mutual support.
