Since March is celebrated as Women’s History and Empowerment Month, let’s look at Manisha’s journey in her “smart village”!
Manisha, a resident of the rural village Sihri in Nuh district, faced limitations in pursuing education due to patriarchal norms and financial constraints. In her village, girls typically received limited education, and mobility for girls was discouraged. Despite her initial fading interest in computer learning, Manisha wanted to enroll in a Digital And Life Skills Awareness Center launched by S M Sehgal Foundation through a CSR-supported project. Starting the five-month course in February 2023, she faced initial resistance from her family, but they eventually agreed.
When Manisha first attended the class, she was modest and unassuming. However, her participation in the sessions sparked a transformation in her character.
