Empowering individuals with knowledge, confidence and skills

At Bharat Forge, Community Development programmes are aimed at making women more independent. This is done through skill development, social get-togethers and small scale business support platforms.

We have observed that when women come together, they display higher levels of confidence which makes a difference in their emotional well-being. As part of our community development initiatives, we impart various vocational trainings to the women from different communities to enhance their self-dependency and develop entrepreneurial skills in them.
