Vision: To build a gender just society.
Mission: To enhance the status of women in social, economic and political spheres.
Goal: To enhance women’s self-esteem and confidence through informed participation in all key decision-making processes in communities and institutions, and striving towards attaining Gender Equity in Governance through Transformative Women Leadership and Citizenship. PRAGATI strongly realises the potent tool of Transparency, Accountability and Participation as the vital factors for the efficacy of good governance.
Purpose: PRAGATI has been created to help women renegotiate their existence on an equitable basis. The work manifests itself in many realms. In the political arena, it takes the form of a long deserved place in governance. On the social front, it aims to achieve an equal footing with men in the midst of a deep-rooted patriarchal setup. On the economic front, PRAGATI attempts to get recognition for domestic work performed by women and ensure non-discrimination in the workplace. Moreover, it seeks to bring about positive changes in the rural economies with due credit given to the women, who act as major contributors. It is seen to that these women get ample opportunities to use their full potential, through adequate measures of health, education, skills and intellectual as well as moral capabilities, subsequently raising their quality of life.
