Manjiri : – Originally established by Ms. Sheila Ghatate, former Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women, along with others, Manjiri was created to help women participate fully in India’s economic and social growth. The first President was Mr. Bipin Patel, grandson of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The project was taken over by Sir Gangadharrao Chitnavis Trust in 2009 and continues to grow each year.
Manjiri was started to help marginalised women become financially independent. The Trust connects women with job opportunities—domestic work, caregiving, and clerical roles—free of cost, and also provides financial literacy support.
Sewing Class :- Since 2019, women have been trained in tailoring, bag-making, and embroidery. The goal is self-sufficiency—whether through independent work or employment with boutiques.
Beauty Parlour :- Started in 2021, this course trains women in basic and advanced beauty skills, including mehendi, enabling them to start home-based services or work in salons.
Health awareness, confidence-building, and soft-skills sessions are a regular part of the program.
