The Self‑Employed Women’s Association in Tuensang has opened a Shakti Kendra aimed at supporting local women’s livelihoods.
The Self‑Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) in Tuensang inaugurated a new Shakti Kendra, marking a significant step toward women’s empowerment in the district. The centre, located in Tuensang, Nagaland, is expected to serve as a focal point for various support services targeted at self‑employed women.
According to SEWA officials, the Shakti Kendra will provide skill‑training programmes, financial guidance, and market linkage assistance to help women enhance their income‑generating activities. The facility is also set to host awareness sessions on legal rights and health, thereby offering a holistic support system.
Local community members welcomed the launch, noting that such a dedicated space can bridge gaps in access to resources and information for women in remote areas. SEWA plans to monitor the centre’s impact and expand its services based on feedback from beneficiaries.
