Brief

In recent years, the Government of India has implemented and upgraded several schemes with the objective of empowering women, socially and economically, and ensuring last-mile delivery of services and entitlements.

The SANKALP ( Supportive Action for Nurturing and Knowledge-Based Advancement, Last-Mile Delivery and Potential Realisation of Women ): HEW ( Hub for Empowerment of Women ) is one such initiative, under the ambit of Mission Shakti, that will serve as a vehicle to bridge the information and knowledge gap regarding schemes and facilities available for women as well as guide them to avail the benefits and entitlements. The SANKALP: HEW will also serve as a Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) for all components under Mission Shakti and will work in convergence with the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme.

Inter-sectoral convergence is planned with a wide range of stakeholders and the SANKALP: HEW will act as a medium to implement initiatives in close coordination with different ministries and departments. This will ensure that awareness campaigns at grassroots level, which fuels demand by women as rightful entitlement holders for delivery of services under different schemes/programs meant for them can be organized.

The SANKALP: HEW is functional at the National, State and District level.
