Empowering women, school drop-outs
Jalandhar diocese’s Navjeevan Charitable Society has set up a printing press to provide skills training to women and school drop-outs.
The printing and binding unit was inaugurated on Oct 3 by Bishop Anil Joseph Couto of Jalandhar.
“The society, over the last three years of its existence, has supported 908 youth with educational scholarships and non-formal education,” said Fr.Antony Madassery, Director of the Society.
Envisioned by Retired bishop Symphorian Keeprath of Jalandhar, it was finally made possible by the efforts of Bishop Couto, clergy and religious of the diocese.
The social service society was started in 2008 and its main mission is to empower marginalized women, dalits, youth, children and the physically and mentally disabled.
“We are striving to create a society based on Gospel values where human dignity is held high and all enjoy the fullness of life,” said Sr.Amala Maliekkal of the Missionaries of Jesus, the coordinator for the women’s empowerment department.
Over the years, the society has helped over 1000 women through awareness program, creation of Self Help Groups and other income generation programs.

The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important one.
