The success of this program serves as an inspiring example of how communities can come together to promote gender equality and foster economic independence. As these women prepare to embark on their farming journeys, they stand as a shining testament to the untapped potential that women bring to the agricultural sector.

In a remarkable initiative aimed at empowering women in the agricultural sector, the Koovappady Block Panchayat, situated in the heart of rural Kerala, recently concluded an eight-day training program under the Mahila Kisan Saktheekaran Pariyojana. This initiative, spearheaded by the block panchayat authorities, aims to ensure women's active participation in farming and agricultural activities.
A group of 20 enthusiastic women hailing from the Koovappady block panchayat limits eagerly took part in this unique training program. The comprehensive training was divided into two batches, each consisting of ten women, all eager to learn the ins and outs of tractor operation and other essential farming skills.
The training sessions, which took place at the Kodanad Baselios Public School, witnessed a remarkable display of dedication and enthusiasm from the participants. Block panchayat officials lauded the women for their unwavering commitment to mastering the necessary skills for tractor operation and various agricultural tasks.
Following the successful completion of their training, these women are now poised to make a significant impact in the field of agriculture. Block panchayat authorities are preparing to deploy them for ploughing and various other farming activities in the region.
In an exciting development, a millet garden is set to take root at Baselios Public School, further exemplifying the women's commitment to sustainable agriculture. The newly trained women will play a crucial role in ploughing and undertaking other allied tasks to set up and maintain the garden.
The Mahila Kisan Saktheekaran Pariyojana has not only provided these women with new skills but also opened up avenues for them to actively contribute to the agricultural landscape of Koovappady. This initiative underlines the importance of women's involvement in farming and empowers them to be self-reliant contributors to the agricultural sector.
The success of this program serves as an inspiring example of how communities can come together to promote gender equality and foster economic independence. As these women prepare to embark on their farming journeys, they stand as a shining testament to the untapped potential that women bring to the agricultural sector.
The Koovappady Block Panchayat is undoubtedly leading the way in ensuring that women's voices and contributions are heard and valued in the world of agriculture. This initiative serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment, not only for the women of Koovappady but for women in agriculture across the nation.
