Dweepsree, the self-help group that helped women in Lakshadweep to become independent

A few minutes ago, the women were learning to make jewellery in a training programme jointly organised by the Dweepsree and Jan Shikshan Sansthan. Dweepsree was launched in the islands in 2017, taking inspiration from Kerala's 'Kudumbashree', arguably the best run women's self-help system in the country with 33 lakh plus active members. "Initiatives like Jan Shikshan Sansthan also help us in developing our skills," Roshida said. When we coordinate with Dweepsree, it helps us to reach to the womenfolk easier and to organise such sessions," Resmi, director of the Jan Shikshan Sansthan in Lakshadweep told PTI.
