The success stories of the many beneficiaries of KSWDC are a perfect testimonial of the Corporation’s commitment towards achieving an egalitarian society based on unbiased norms and values. KSWDC invests in the holistic development of women and our gender awareness programmes, career grooming services, and vocational training facilities seek to address women’s needs and concerns, and also equip them with skills and attributes to handle the resources and opportunities available to them.

KSWDC has disbursed 658.57 Crores among 42,469 beneficiaries so far. Many job oriented training and development programs have enabled girls from BPL families to find suitable jobs.
