UDYOGINI THEORY OF CHANGE:

IF POOR, MARGINALIZED AND

VULNERABLE WOMEN ARE PROVIDED

CUSTOMIZED BUSINESS SERVICES (SKILL,

ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING,

FINANCIAL AND MARKET LINKAGES) THEN

THEIR INCOME SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES

DUE TO INCREASE IN PRODUCTION AND

QUALITY OF PRODUCT AND SERVICES.

THE INCREASE IN ECONOMIC STATUS

ENABLES WOMEN TO PARTICIPATE IN

DECISION MAKING IN DOMESTIC AND PUBLIC SPHERE.
