Nari Shakti Forum | Empowering Women, Transforming Lives

What you get, simply by registering

Register once. Everything below is yours.

A verified Sakhi ID — one identity that works across every service we run. You will never be asked to prove who you are twice.

Every government scheme you qualify for, found for you — widow pension, health cover, housing, ration, your children's scholarships. We check, we tell you, and we help you file. Most women find they were entitled to three or four things nobody had told them about.

Work — live job openings matched to what you can do and the hours you can give.

Free training — with a certificate that employers recognise.

A lawyer, free — a woman advocate for maintenance, custody, property, harassment at work.

Childcare while you work or train — at our centres, at no cost.

A doctor, and an appointment that fits your shift — booked for you, with someone to go with you if you want.

School and college, for you and for your children — admissions, a way back into study, and the scholarships nobody told you about.

Someone to talk to — a counsellor, free and confidential, for as long as you need.

A safety number that answers at any hour — for the rest of your life, whether or not you are still working with us.

The Nari Shakti Card — your identity, your benefits and your money, in one card.

No cost, ever. We will never ask you for money, and no service here depends on you taking a loan, a card, or anything else.

Nari Shakti Card

More than a card. A step towards your dreams.

Our film

Why we started this

A short film from Nari Shakti Forum.

“She was always capable. All we did was move what was in the way.”

Press play to watch — it never plays by itself. Captions, Hindi, Telugu and Urdu subtitles and a transcript will be added before launch.

Impact

Everything we do is counted. In public.

—Women registered

—In work

—Entitlements claimed

—Legal cases closed

—Still open

We publish what we have not done yet, alongside what we have. No party. No politics. Just the numbers.

Figures appear here, live, once the public dashboard is connected and each number is verified — open and overdue counts alongside the completed ones.

Behind the Forum

An initiative of Goadh Foundation

Nari Shakti Forum is an initiative of Goadh Foundation, which has worked in child welfare, girl-child protection, rehabilitation and family strengthening. The Foundation's work with children and the Forum's work with their mothers are two halves of the same idea.

For institutions

Women are already running the economy. They are simply not on its books.

Our mandate rests on five pillars — enterprise, trade and technology; a neutral knowledge hub; public-private partnerships; global convening; and recognition for grassroots excellence.
