A weekly voice of digital women leaders from hinterland of India

Institutional Partner

In West Bengal, mentor Sneha conducted a

session about the role of Social media and

shared some impact stories with the

mentees to help them understand how

individual and collective efforts can be

recognised easily with the use of social

media tools. They were also informed about

the power of Social Media and how many

people have used it to make their mark on the

world. With this background and practical

examples from around the globe, the

mentees were trained on uploading

community videos, creating their Facebook

pages. This was followed by another

assignment where the mentees were

educated about the role and major function

of each & every ministry. Sahina, Tahmina

and Ehira are actively posting relevant

videos about the villages, the activities going

on and tagging the relevant ministries.

Mera App Surey is in full swing in Madhya Pradesh

and Maharashtra. Mentees from Gadchirolli are

enhancing their social skills by regularly interacting

with the villagers. They are informing the people of

their community about the existing central and state

government schemes. They also helped many of them

register for the same, if they were the intended

beneficiaries. This exercise not only helped the

mentees with personal development, but it was

beneficial for the communities itself.

Mentors from Jharkhand are continuously in touch

with their respective mentees. Based on her

observations they have advised the Mentees of

Village Ranikhatanga to come up with ideas on how

they can showcase their work to their respective

communities, especially the Sarpanch and Sachivs.

The whole idea was discussed between the mentors

and the mentees. Hence, they came up with the name

‘MERA GOAL MERA GAON’ for the exhibition.

Mentees from the Village Ranikhatanga travelled to

Nauj to showcase their newly learned skills and the

products they created using the same. They have

been utilising these skills and earning a livelihood

with the support from Team GOAL. Under the

guidance of their respective mentors, the mentees

have developed both intellectually and financially.

Swati, one of our most dedicated mentees from

Gadchirolli is interacting with Khushboo.

Khushboo, is a friend of her Mentor Pranali. She

owns multiple- handicraft businesses in Mumbai

and is now a guide to Swati. She has been

teaching Swati about utilizing the waste material

and turning them to decorative pieces. It is a

beautiful practice of creating something

amazing from things considered to be of no use.

In West Bengal, our Mentor Primly conducted a

session after a gap due to struggles in Bengal on

CAA. She enquired about the mentees and took an

update about what they have been doing. She also

discussed the spread of Corona Virus in China and

Europe. She asked the mentees their thoughts

about the same. She also spread awareness

among the mentees and informed them about the

symptoms and precautions to take to avoid getting

infected. She advised them to also inform as many

people as they can
