New Delhi, December 02: For women wanting to learn the basics of politics, help is now just a click away.
The Centre for Social Research in association with Central Government and UN agencies have launched an online certificate programme in leadership and democracy for women.
The course — which can be accessed through www.womenleadership.in — is free of cost and provides basics for political participation, gender politics and leadership.
According to the organisers, the course seeks to bridge the information gap and empower women to become future leaders.
Launching the course, former Union Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury today said it will act as a thrust to help women who want to join politics and develop their leadership skills.
“We have women representation in Panchyats but most of them are handled by their husbands, partly because our women lack exposure and knowledge about politics.
