The underlying causes of gender inequality are related to social and economic factors. Consequently, the access for women, particularly those in the rural areas, to education and health care among others is inadequate.<\/p>\n<p>Sriram Charitable Trust aims at a holistic approach to the development of women to enable them to realize their full potential and establish a dignified status for themselves in the society.<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">FOCUS AREAS OF THE TRUST IN WOMEN EMPOWERMENT<\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Financial assistance for women self help groups (SHGs)<\/li>\n<li>Self employment<\/li>\n<li>Education for women<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR WOMEN SELF HELP GROUPS<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>The Trust has facilitated women self-help groups through financial assistance for employment ventures and to empower themselves by taking up a wide variety of economic activities.<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">SELF EMPLOYMENT<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Women\u2019s initiative for self-employment provides a one stop shop where high-potential, lower-income women receive training to start and develop their business. The business management training, technical assistance and financial services we provide improve the quality of life of women, their families, and also our communities.<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">EDUCATION FOR WOMEN<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Women\u2019s education in India has been a major pre-occupation of both the government and civil society as educated women can play a very important role in the development of the country. Gender discrimination still persists in India and a lot more needs to be done in the field of women\u2019s education in India. The Trust strives to ensure that all girl children get formal education.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tog_0\">\n<div class=\"toggle-box\">\n<p class=\"toggle-trigger\"><a
