Sankhalim: Senior BJP woman leader Sulakshana Sawant has appealed the people to take benefit of state government’s Swayampurna initiative which covers all the facets of our lives.

Addressing the crowd, she also appealed the NGOs to work towards financial literacy amongst the women, which is low in the rural areas of the state.
Sawant said that the various programs of the state and central government needs to be taken to the grassroot level which can be done with the help of non-profit organizations.
During the function, the new Governing Body of JCI Sanquelim was installed while JC Manisha Salelekar took over as the new President of the JCI Sanquelim.
In her speech, Salelkar appealed the government to hand hold JCI Sanquelim to work towards women empowerment in the state through state government schemes.
