Nirantar initiated Sahajani Shiksha Kendra in 2002. 'Sahajani' in the local language means ‘one who helps women’. The programme broadly aims at empowering women and adolescent girls through literacy and education – an education that makes connections with their lived realities and enables them to develop analytical skills on gender, development and other issues. Through its different activities, the programme reaches over 500 primarily Dalit women and adolescent girls.
