Today is India’s Independence Day and we are celebrating the work of The Hunger Project where we are committed to ignite, kindle and sustain the leadership spirit in women elected to village Panchayats.
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act (CAA) mandated 33.33 per cent reservation for women in all three tiers of the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), has brought more than one million women into public political life. It is our conviction that active participation of these women in local governance shall make hunger free India a reality.
