TEHASWINI MARKS SUCCESS

KALINGA NAGAR
The six month long Tejaswini program organized by Tata Steel in Kalinganagar turned out to be a successful one.
Sulata Deo, Chairperson of Odisha State Welfare Board graced the occasion as Chief Guest.
Senior officials from Steel Major Tata Steel including Mohit Das, Chief of Corporate Affairs also graced the occasion.
J K Padhi, Sr. Manager (CA&C) and large number of PRIs of the area were present on this occasion.
Hundreds of women from the neighboring Gram Panchayats and Tata Parivar Colonies joined the finals of Tejaswini competition.
The Swasti Self Help Group (SHG) of Gobardhanpur occupied the first position among the SHGs, followed by Matru Krupa SHG of Chitri. Maa Sarala SHG of Pankapalwas declared third best SHG in the competition.
All these SHGs would be awarded on the Odia New Year Day celebration to be held at Tata Parivar Colony, Sansailo (Duburi) on 14 April, 2011.
Speaking on this occasion, Mrs Deo lauded the efforts of Tata Steel to empower the women in Kalinganagar area through promotion of SHGs. She called upon the women to be self-reliant to be part and parcel of the current social mainstream. Aimed at the fruitful engagement of peripheral women, Tata steel has initiated an innovative program in the Kalinganagar locality namely Tejaswini. Started in the year of 2009, it has shown an overwhelming impact on the mindset and temperament of the women who liked to stay at the back door.

By inculcating the inner talents of rural, tribal women and exploring them towards the developmental process, Tejaswini initiative has been able to create a good and successful benchmark.
