There are more than 50 girls but currently, only 10 are working,” said another trainee. The Indian Army has taken a significant step towards empowering women in the remote village of Kanzalwan in Gurez by setting up a "Kishanganga Women Employment Initiative" detergent unit. This initiative not only aims to create employment opportunities for local women but also allows them to become self-sufficient and financially independent by making a detergent “Harmukh Sheen" brand. It is indeed a positive and impactful move towards empowering women and driving positive change in the region.
