Know - What is the new Manjil program of the Government of India, which more than 50 thousand women took advantage
Nai Manzil is a program run by the Ministry of Minority Welfare, Government of India, due to which many women have given a new dawn to their lives. Under this program, women are given the opportunity to complete education, who for some reason are unable to complete it. And by giving skill training, it is being helped to become self-sufficient, who are unable to complete education due to some reasons. Apart from this, women are also helped to become self-reliant by providing skill training under this program.
Its first batch under this program came out in 2017 after completing its training. So far, more than 50 thousand minority women have been made self-reliant under this program. The World Bank has given a loan of $ 50 million for this program. This program is going on in 26 states and 3 union territories of the country. This program of the Government of India is also a unique initiative to empower women. The United Nations news cites a blog written by World Bank senior education expert Margarite Clarke and education consultant Pradyumna Bhattacharjee, sharing the story of women who have made a living from it.
Sameera is one of those women who learned a lot from being a part of this program and then grooming her life. Sameera's parents were very poor. Sameera left writing at the age of 14. After this she was married and moved to her husband's house in Malappuram district of Kerala. Her husband belongs to the fishermen community. After marriage, Sameera also got involved in household chores like other women. Cooking for the family, cleaning the house had just reduced his life to this point. Then one day a program called 'Nai Manzil - Nav Kshitij' was knocked at his place.
Sameera gave her permission when she spoke to her husband to participate in the event. This moment was very special for him. She learned tailoring under this program and after about a year and a half started her own tailoring shop with three other women. He named this shop Bismil Tailoring. After some time, his work also went well. He had a lot of work with the community of fishermen living there. According to Sameera, people liked their work and in this way their earnings started increasing. However, after the launch of Kovid-19, the lockdown imposed in the state also adversely affected its work and stopped getting work. There was disappointment on all sides.
Clarke and Bhattacharya have written in their blog that after four months, when they spoke to Sameera, her voice was clear. He said that he got orders to make masks after the lockdown was over. According to Sameera, at first she could not believe this, but it was true. Not even all the artisans were coming to his shop. After the lockdown, his small shop was once again on the path of profit. It has been written in the blog that both were very surprised and happy with his passionate voice and confidence. The confidence that Samira created from this program and what she got from here, also made the purpose of this program meaningful. Sameera started to feel that she could move ahead through a difficult time. During the lockdown, the situation in the house had deteriorated considerably. Her husband also could not go fishing at sea, but now his days have changed once again.
Like Sameera, Kausar Jahan has made herself self-reliant with this program. Kausar living in Hyderabad has three children. There are a total of nine members in his family. Castor was married only at the age of 17. Due to this, his studies were also missed. Her husband works as an electric mechanic. Due to the new floor program, he studied and later he got work in a government hospital. She now takes care of patients there. Due to the Kovid-19 where everything was closed and the employment of the people was lost, Kausar got a new confidence from the hospital money.
Today she is feeding her family. Though he was also forbidden to come to the hospital during the lockdown, he continued to receive half of his salary during this period. This money has proved to be a boon for him to feed his entire family. There are more women like Kausar and Sameera who benefit from this program. These women are today providing free health services such as vaccination programs to be conducted in the old area of Hyderabad, explaining test reports, checking blood pressure and getting advice from doctors to sick people.
Sameera is engaged in the well being of the fishermen community apart from her tailoring work. Apart from this, she also helps in the kitchens set up to feed the migrants and other poor people affected by the epidemic. Sameera believes that the program has empowered many other women like her. He also believes that life-changing empowerment is possible through education, skills and contact with the outside world. This helps women to flourish and bring out their full potential. Sameera is now working on plans to study further and become a better entrepreneur. She wants other women to move in with her.
