Empowering women through dairy training– UW partnership with the Gandhi Trust in UP

In Uttar Pradesh, about 40% of poor women farmers and their families suffer from insufficient nutrients. Animal husbandry and dairy offers a good scope for rural development in India. Women are often constrained by limited access to formal knowledge sources, markets, technologies and social networks. Our partnership with The Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust has been pivotal in delivering dairy trainings to women farmers, overcoming the gendergaps existing in these activities.
