Pan India Project of Development Labs "Bridging Gender Digital Divide"



Information Communication Technology's offer not only e-mail, e-commerce and e-jobs, but "E-quality."

Stark Reality:

In many communities, it's a regular practice to breastfeed girls for a shorter time than boys so that women can try to get pregnant again with a boy as soon as possible. As a result, girls miss out on life-giving nutrition during a crucial window of their development, which stunts their growth and weakens their resistance to disease. This is happening in all the societies and culture around the globe since time immemorial. Women have faced discrimination be it nutrition ,education, job opportunities or in the societal norms as a whole.2/3rd of the world’s 900 million illiterates are women which has led to feminization of poverty due to obvious reason being illiterate and lagging behind men in acquiring suitable knowledge in the arena of income generation.  


The only solution of this stark reality is education, key to gender equality which strengthens a women ability to grow, to reduce poverty and to provide healthy & better life.


Whatever the underlying reasons, we at Development Labs are in constant endeavor to bring about holistic development of the vulnerable population of our society. In this process of transformation, we seek your support to achieve this mountainous task. We have successfully completed several social initiatives with the support of passionate contributors like you.
