“Women are achieving remarkable milestones in every domain, breaking barriers and contributing significantly to society,” declared Cabinet Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur. She was addressing the state-level inaugural event held at village Danewala, Malout, as part of a groundbreaking health and employment camp dedicated to empowering women.
Dr. Baljit Kaur emphasized that the camp’s primary objective is to protect women from life-threatening diseases like cancer and to create employment opportunities for young girls. Over 500 women registered for cancer screening, showcasing the camp’s impact on raising health awareness. Simultaneously, the camp facilitated a placement drive where 209 young women participated. Remarkably, 134 of them were offered jobs by seven leading companies on the spot.
“This initiative is a one-stop solution, bringing together a range of essential services for women under one roof,” said the Minister. Various departments set up specialized stalls, including those offering healthcare facilities, widow and old-age pensions, employment placement services, yoga sessions, and more.
