Mahila Samakhya is a government program in India aimed at empowering women through education and social awareness. Launched in 1989, it focuses on improving women's status in society by promoting their rights and providing them with the necessary skills to participate in decision-making processes. The initiative encourages women to form self-help groups and engage in collective action. By fostering a sense of community, Mahila Samakhya helps women address issues like health, education, and economic independence, ultimately leading to greater gender equality and social justice in their communities.
