Women Empowerment in Punjab by Umeed NGO

Umeed has seen various activities in the month of Feb. Umeed participated in an exhibition held in hotel Sapphire, Yamuna Nagar on 23-25th of February 2013. There was a lot of interest shown by the visitors in both the product as well as wanting to know how women participate in Umeeds projects while making them. The inquiries were very heartening. In similar spirit the BPO team at Dhuri is currently practicing to hone their typing & computer skills. We are in touch with various organizations to get work for the team in the BPO.

Whereas Mr. Harsh Garg, a MBA student from NMIMS, Mumbai came to do his internship with Umeed from 4th -23rd February 2013 as part of 'We Care" -civic engagement project of the School of Business Management, NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies) Mumbai set up to promote learning and to support Rural Development in India. He spent time out of his three weeks internship in crochet centers that provide women empowerment and with the team to understand Umeed's project completely specially its financial aspects. He has suggested few points to develop crochet business by keeping in mind various factors related with hand done crochet such as market/finance and prevailing trends.

He spent 3 weeks in Umeed and visited all ongoing activities in the field such as medical teams, SHG's, BPO, Umeed/AR job placement, crochet centers etc. He has submitted report to Umeed based on his observation/learning from his 3 weeks with Umeed. The ideas are valuable and easy to incorporate.


Furthering recruitment in Punjab under Umeed’s Job Placement Service - 240 youth have registered themselves in Umeed/AR Job placement office during the month and 153 candidates were sent for interviews in various organizations. 36 youth got jobs in various organizations during the month of February.

Electricity tariff hike roll back in India

I fail to understand the Punjab’s government’s decision to increase the power tariff by 12%. How could the government betray the trust reposed in them by the people of Punjab. The people had re-elected the SAD-BJP alliance thinking they will do good for the state, but this is how their hope was shattered.

The common man is already burdened with tax and the government instead of easing their problems is adding to them. The government is increasing electricity tariff at a time when people are reeling from severe power cuts and industries are shutting down due to lack of power supply. Furthermore this year the state has been hit by severe drought due to which all irrigation is done by ground water for which tubewells are extensively used and increasing the electricity tariff will increase the cost of agriculture putting undue burden on the farmers.

The government should immediately roll back the hike and concentrate on real problems like power theft and transmition losses. The stress should also be on increased production of electricity as this will solve the state’s power problem and bring relief to the people.

There are some social worker of India which are well connected with roots of the punjab.
