"Ministry of Minority Affairs"
While 50% beneficiaries of the skill development initiatives of IGCSM are girls and young women, the organization also lays special focus on development and empowerment of women and adolescent girls. Two projects, have been undertaken, towards fulfilling this initiative. Though both these projects are in their elementary stages, they have benefitted around 500 girls and women already. IGCSM is now looking forward at strengthening this initiative with some needed support.
