Why women, once ignored, are being treasured in Krishnagiri
Live MintKrishnagiri/Chennai: Twenty-one-year-old R. Deepa had a traumatic childhood. In the last three years, thanks to a spate of investments by Ola Electric, shoemaker Fairway Enterprises, precision component manufacturer Tata Electronics and many others, the lives of 40,000 girls in Krishnagiri and its neighbouring districts have been transformed. “The recent investments and the jobs they are offering are creating a significant tailwind for government efforts and accelerating the change," says T.R.B. These investments have created a lot of jobs specifically for women," says V. Vishnu, managing director and chief executive officer of Guidance, Tamil Nadu’s single-window investment promotion arm. “Dropouts from school are almost zero this year and enrolment into higher education has risen 89%," says Maheswari, the district’s chief educational officer.
