Why Women’s Financial Literacy Is Important for the Future of India?
It’s 2022, and financial awareness is one of the most important lessons that should be imparted to every individual for our country’s economic growth. But unfortunately, 80 per cent of women in India struggle with financial literacy and around 62 per cent of Indian women do not own bank accounts or have limited access to banking services.
Join Humanity Welfare Council today; let’s grow and expand to contribute to India’s growing financial literacy and achieve the Mission 2030 Developed India!
Humanity Welfare Council - an NPO working to uplift the agriculture sector in India. HWC initiated a project Srishtipath for the rural development of India.
HWC has initiated a project called Srishtipath for the rural development of our country. We invite multilateral organizations to invest in new horticulture, fisheries, and animal science reforms as a part of agricultural development. The leaders in our team are in constant touch with the agriculture ministry via meetings and conferences to introduce technical development in agriculture and make them available to farmers at an affordable cost. We ensure insurance against drought management and will help you avail necessary resources through credit for better production. Launching innovative farming techniques and introducing superior breeding for distribution can yield greater profits for farmers and infrastructural development for animal husbandry, and improving animal productivity.
Availability of fertilizers and other chemicals in the correct quantity at the right time is another hurdle for small farmers, which our organization considers and is working to improve. We are also looking at creating credit and a readily available marketplace to sell farmers' produce at the correct cost to pay them off well for their input and hard work.
A small wise step can pave the way for a developed India with no hunger and unemployment forcing farmers to commit suicide. HWC layers such pebbles of encouragement and welfare to create a better India with happy faces all around. And this is only possible if our foundation stone - the agriculture sector is uplifted.
So, extend your help to give the best with our organization so that our farmers can live better, making our country better and the whole economy boom.
In India Sati, Savitri, Durga, Laxmi are worshipped where as there is increasing number of rape, eve-teasing, domestic violence, child marriage.
Women struggle with sanitization and Safety
August 15, 2020, chronicled as the 73rd year of independence. It's been more than 73 years since we liberated ourselves from the trammel of British slavery and unfurled the message of non-violence in the whole world with the unique freedom struggle. But we still need liberation from dirt and filth.
According to UN India ranks among the top 20 nations in open defecation with almost 620 million people in rural areas lacking toilet facilities.
With inadequate access to private and clean toilets, women in rural regions of India are risking their health and safety. This unfortunate situation results in embarrassment, hygiene-related diseases, and violence against women. There was a case of such violence reported on 27 May 2014, in Katra village of Uttar Pradesh, where two young girls were gang-raped and hanged, after they went to excrete in the dark.
In the 21st century, women have achieved the zenith of success in every field of life. People talk about technology, space, and advancement, on another end, it holds no dignity for these rural women excreting in fields and waiting for darkness to answer nature's call. But after witnessing such incidents of violence they fear to go out even at night. It cost them a heavy price, on their health holding their bowels and bladders for hours. There is a constant fear of wild animals and men waiting to grab them like vultures from all sides.
Rural women, facing certain restrictions on sanitation access because of social standards and taboos related to menstruation and female sexuality. With no access to sanitary pads and proper disposal places, these women get infected regularly.
Child Protection Issues Are a Huge Threat to Youth in India
A 13-year old girl was pushed into labour due to poverty. Three siblings are surviving with just one meal a day as their parents are unemployed. An 11-year old girl fled from home to escape from her abusive father. A 14-year old might not be able to continue his studies as his father, the family’s sole earning member, has died from the virus. Across India, over 1 crore children do not have a roof over their heads. This is how Covid-19 has impacted the children of India.
The recent reports show that over 3,000 children have lost both parents, and over 26,000 have lost one parent to COVID-19 between 2020 to now. Though the government has come forward to support children affected by the pandemic, there is an aggravated concern about child protection issues.
While the children may be less susceptible to the virus, many families have experienced economic and social fallout due to the first and second waves of the coronavirus. Due to worse conditions, the children face the severest emotional trauma resulting in dire consequences and reducing access to basic health, education, and social protection. In addition, many children are now being abandoned or forced to work because of family conflict, negligence, extreme poverty, and face an even greater risk of abuse, child marriage, and trafficking. Such cases are increasing in rural areas.
Additionally, the fake social media messages circulated encouraging people to adopt are on the rise putting children at risk of violence. Also, some largely forgotten homeless children beg, scavenge, and work in the struggle to survive. Many others are at high risk of developing life-threatening diseases due to scarcity of food and proper shelter.
We need to take matters into our hands as it becomes our responsibility to take care of children affected by the pandemic. We need to work with individuals and communities in building awareness, identifying children who are needy, and refer them to Child Welfare Committees to prevent trafficking or illegal adoptions.
Also, supporting the children in need through medical assistance, safe shelter, nutritious food, psycho-social care, education, and livelihood opportunities to families is the need of the hour.
Join Humanity Welfare Council to act now and work towards giving a protective and playful childhood to disadvantaged children and restoring childhoods to save the future citizens of India.

Inequality in Literacy Will Impact the Future of India.
India is a country where inequality prevails in all age groups, demographics, classes, and genders. However, the most pressing concern is the low reading ability in India among the disadvantaged groups due to the socio-demographic dimension. The need of the hour is to consider increasing literacy equity when developing the policies by our country’s policymakers. Because losing ground on literacy will impact the future of India.
Facts on Illiteracy in India That You Must Know
In today’s India, education and literacy rates are widely disparate between states. For instance, two neighboring states, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, have the highest (96.2%) and lowest (66.4%) literacy rates, respectively, highlighting the need for a mega change with a wide gap in literacy rates differences.
Education is an important factor for progress, and education relies on literacy. However, a quick look at the demographics in India reveals that female literacy is at 70.3%, which is much lower than male literacy at 84.7%. This difference significantly impacts family planning and population stabilization efforts, which are essential for the country’s growth.
The Economic Benefits of Increased Literacy
Education and literacy are fundamental to sustaining our economy. There is a reliable link between literacy and GDP growth in a country. However, poverty leaves India with a huge literacy problem still to solve. The literacy problem goes beyond reading and writing, involving connecting, perception, understanding, interpretation, formulation, and communication in an increasingly digital, text-mediated, data-rich, and fast-changing world.
Therefore, being literate is an essential life skill that assures that individuals can be functioning, productive members of society. Additionally, literacy opens avenues of creativity like learning, studying, and writing and nurtures important interests like blogging, travelling, and music. These skills are essential in today’s progressive economy that profoundly relies on creative problem-solving over purely bookish knowledge.
Ensuring a standard of literacy within the country also paves the path for many opportunities. When the majority of the younger generations are prepared to enter the workforce, they most certainly deserve an equal level of skills. The unskilled labor population in our country is enormous, and their livelihoods are often unstable. Literacy can profit and grant stability by improving prospects for people whose work would serve as a catalog of contributions to the Indian economy.
Therefore, literacy is essential for the development of India. It is synonymous with Education, Empowerment, and Employment. With literacy and education come better and more informed decisions. The mission of literacy and education is not significantly the mastery of a subject but a person’s mastery. Every person must be instructed on how to think and not what to think. Literacy empowers people to become self-reliant and employable.
While it may look like these are far-fetched resolutions, many states have successfully executed programs for a literacy rate increase. Literacy is indispensable at multiple levels, from the health and well-being of an individual to the social and economic power of the nation.
Therefore, losing sight of the importance of literacy to the nation will severely compromise India’s future and affect our international standing and our citizens. It is on us to take action on the right path and secure future generations.
Through its initiative Project Litindia, Humanity Welfare Council strives to eradicate illiteracy in India by rejuvenating education to fulfill the dream of a technologically empowered nation. It is a full-blown learning and development program focusing on awareness creation among all age groups.
Join Humanity Welfare Council, and let us work together to make India a literate and educationally abled nation!

Ants play an important role in our environment. Ants turn and aerate the soil, allowing water and #oxygen to reach plant roots. Ants take seeds down into their tunnel to eat the nutritious melanosomes that are part of the seed. They eat a wide variety of organic material and provide food for many different organisms.

Youth Empowerment: Why Is It Necessary for a Nation's Development?
The youth of a country strike a vital role in building social coherence, economic prosperity, and political stability inclusively and democratically. As the young are the social actors of change and process, it is very important to involve the youth in empowering the nation.
What is Youth Empowerment?
The term "Youth empowerment" is defined as a technique where the youth are encouraged to take charge of their lives by addressing specific concerns, accessing resources, and recasting their consciousness. As a result, youth gain the ability and authority to make decisions and implement change in their individual lives and society. Therefore, encouraging youth to perform and achieve greatness and make an inordinate impact on their society is a prioritized task of a country.
Role of Youth in Shaping India's Future
With every third person being a youth aged between 10 and 24 in India, investment in young people and adolescents has become even more critical. A passionate attachment to moral values and national pride should be encouraged and supported by providing quality healthcare, standard education, skill-building, employment creation and opportunities, good governance, and empowerment to the youth in achieving the progress and development of the nation.
The supreme value of the youth is incalculable and indescribable. The empowerment of youth is the key to a self-reliant India. Young people are important as future voters, decision-makers, and productive citizens. Their health and well-being, therefore, are critical for their future.
Youth empowerment can restrain the rate of poverty to an enormous extent if and when harnessed meticulously. One of the key factors is skill development. When youth is equipped with the necessary skills, they can utilize such skills to assist others as valuable members of society. This will, in turn, contribute to the increase in employability and add to the nation's development. Furthermore, youth empowerment through social innovation and entrepreneurship has incredible potential to solve issues at a grassroots level if youth are provided with powerful platforms to connect and act.
What are the Existing Problems Related to Youth Empowerment?
However, our young population faces challenges that have been accentuated by the pandemic. For instance, anaemia, child marriages, and teenage pregnancies have increased. Mental health has also become a significant concern amongst the youth as they are worried about their tomorrow. Moreover, the transition to secondary education and employment demonstrates persistence in challenges. In addition, the country-wide closure of educational institutions has impacted millions of children enrolled in school, further restricting mobility and access to services for economically disadvantaged adolescents. Although these changes will have a long-term impact on shaping India's future if necessary, steps need to be taken today.
Below are a few reasons why youth empowerment is crucial:
Investing in youth will pave the path for their development and sustain the efforts to achieve India's development. Prioritizing their needs and aspirations is the key to the overall socio-economic and demographic development. Having a large young population gives a large window of opportunity for the youth that needs to be leveraged while harnessing their potential remains a massive challenge.
It will also be important to invest in youth engagement and leadership with financial investments. Bringing young people to the centre, including them in decision making, and ensuring their participation in formulating youth appropriate policies and programs will ensure that they are equally invested in their well-being. India will succeed only if the young invest in their self-care.
Humanity Welfare Council's Programs and Projects to Empower Youth
Notwithstanding the challenges at hand, we at Humanity Welfare Council, whose Mission is 2030 Developed Nation, strongly believe in youth empowerment and what they can do for our country. Because of that, we make sure that we do what we can to give the youth the push that they need to realize their full potential. Therefore, we implement programs and projects that enable the youth to develop and be leaders.
We have implemented various projects to ensure holistic development for the children and youth that we meet:
Project Litindia
Community Libraries in rural India. Recognizing education as one of the approaches to empowering youth, we make sure that we educate the children under our care by establishing libraries in rural areas where there is no access to education and learning. We have established 8 community libraries so far where interested individuals can access this educational space to gain their world knowledge.
Project Global Cure (PGC) Interventions
Youth empowerment also signifies the well-being of the youth. Through PGC, we provide medical support to the youth deprived of it in case of emergencies. In addition, we conduct events on health awareness among the youth of India.
Health and Medical Services
PGC, our Care Centres facilities, provides primary preventive medical care, consultations, and treatments to ensure our youth's optimum health condition.
Skills Development
We provide leadership training and literacy training. We ensure that we also nurture youth's values and personalities as part of our youth empowerment interventions via Project Litindia and Project Greybook.
Check out our other Projects to learn more about our initiatives.
What You Can Do?
You can be the hope of our future leaders by uniting with us in our cause and supporting our efforts to empower our youth through education, healthcare, skill development, etc. In addition, you can share and send donations to help us in our endeavours.
Together, we can ensure that our youth are being honed into the leaders they are.
In India today, emphasis should be made to systematically urge today's youth for the country and society. We all should own the responsibility to play leading roles in the country's welfare.
A Blanket Ban to Be Implemented on Certain Single-Use Plastic Items From July 1 This Year. Manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of single-use plastic will officially be banned in India from July 1, 2022. Some of these examples could be: earbuds with plastic sticks, candy sticks, plastic balloon sticks, plastic straws, plastic flags, cigarette packs, etc that will be banned.
Project Litindia has established yet another 2 community libraries across India. Kudos Team!
Project Litindia has inaugurated two community libraries for the general public in rural areas of Bihar regions - Arwal and Buxar. These libraries are a blessing to the children in these regions as they were deprived of quality means and access to learning and education.
What Does the Future of Work Look Like in a Decade ?
Veiled behind a pall of uncertainty, where do you think the future of work is headed? With so much dynamism and clouds of digital leaps, the future jobs seem interesting and mysterious to most of us. While startling development in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is making automation more responsive, efficient, and productive, there is no debate about the constant changes and redefinitions in careers in the next decade. Are businesses combat-ready for the main changes that would impact the work in the ten years to come? Well, the future must answer that question.
Many of the aspects of work that we are so used to today were once mere predictions or even fiction. Besides, our working methods have dramatically changed recently, leading to remote and hybrid work models, changing workforce, skill development and employment trends, and universal technology adoption to accelerate the necessary transformation to sustain operations. How much more can this transform in the upcoming decade? Read on to know…
Change in Job Functions - Impact of Automation
Evidently, the future of work is not going to be like before. Specific jobs across industries and sectors that require physical proximity are disrupted. Moreover, with automation and AI, the necessity for contactless communications and dependency on virtual experiences has risen. To a particular extent, these trends are expected to continue.
Automation and AI will also eliminate many job functions and replace them with new ones that allow organizations to fully leverage new digital capabilities.
Many people have many theories about whether technological advances will reduce human work or technology advances will produce as many jobs as they displace. According to one such theory, automation will replace 3% of jobs in early 2030. This figure can rise considerably till late 2030 as 30% of jobs might get automated, with many workplaces starting to embrace the advancement in technology. As per studies, women might initially face a greater risk of automation as their population is more involved in administrative and clerical jobs. Later, major manual works done by men are likely to be replaced by automated machines.
Over 5,00,000 people die due to non-availability of organs in India every year. Lakhs of people die due to liver and heart diseases. Over thousands of people await a kidney transplant, but only a few get among them.
India needs more organ donations as only 0.01% Indians have given consent to donate their organs after their death.
You can play a big role in saving others' lives. The organ of the donor can be transplanted to the patient who needs it urgently.

The Garbage Disposal: What Are India's Waste Management Woes?
Future Of Waste Management In India
Solid waste management is significantly challenging in India. The need of the hour is to upgrade infrastructure and means to control and discard vast amounts of public solid waste. Through waste-to-energy technology, our public solid waste management woes can be significantly reduced by maximum recycling.
India will continue to suffer from poor waste management until the fundamental requirements are met. One of the main issues is that waste is not considered a resource in India. There is an inherent indifferent approach towards it. The civic bodies need to chart a long-term strategy for solid waste management and reinvent systems to process the maximum waste possible rather than dumping it in landfills. There is also an urgent need to develop programs to change people's perceptions of waste. Corporations can focus on waste management and devise programs that promote recycling, reuse, garbage segregation, composting, and incineration in India, where CSR is mandated by law.
Importance Of Waste Management In India
The term “Waste management” includes all activities that involve managing the waste. These activities involve collection, transportation, sorting, reuse, treatment, recycling, storage and monitoring of waste. Waste management also has other activities that do not involve handling waste directly, such as educating waste generators, budgeting, financing and ensuring compliance with regulations.
The goal of waste management is to utilize the collected waste (by reusing, recycling and/or selling waste materials) to the maximum, and at the same time, limit negative effects like:
cost for managing the waste
need for storage space
unavailability of resources that create the waste
potential adverse effects on people's health and/or the environment
To achieve these goals in the best possible way, waste managers and policymakers use the 'waste hierarchy'. From top (best option) to bottom (least favorable option), these options are:
prevention
minimization
reuse
recycling
energy recovery (incineration)
storage (landfills)
Waste could be considered a viable and economical option when we run out of resources to produce energy and power. So come join Humanity Welfare Council to bring about a change in waste management in India.
