Women Awakened on their Rights for Food Security - Gorai 24th Sept 2015

On the 24th September 34 Women Leaders  from Gorai who had completed the Basic Capacity Training were led to the next set of Advanced Capacity Building. The Resource Person Ms. Taruna Kumbhar led the group enthusiastically to understand the current Public Distribution System based on distribution of Rations by the Government. 

The women were animated to examine their own Ration Cards and realize  how the government and realize for themselves if their ration card truly represented their income status. She went further by stressing on how much ration each family was entitled to. She went on to elaborate on the process of getting a Ration Card and how they would need to demand for their rights in case they were not getting the food grains promised by the government. They would need to make a complaint at the shop itself and take the matter further if required along with other women at the local rationing office.

The session that began at 2.00 pm ended at 4.30 pm with the participants asking endless number of questions to clarify their doubts.
