About: The Project On Government Oversight follows a rich tradition of assuring that the government continues to work for the people it represents. Our nation was founded on the very principle that representation and accountability are fundamental to maintaining a strong and functioning democracy. Today, these principles espoused by our founding fathers are under attack as our federal government is more vulnerable than ever to the influence of money in politics and powerful special interests.

Aim/Objective/Mission: In India early last century the position of women was low both in social and economic life. They had neither education nor economic ability, having no share in their husband and father’s property. Their life was a long history of ignominy and suffering depending on charity. The basic idea of pioneering organisation was to give dignity to women and to empower them with education and economic freedom through Training of Crafts and vocational education. Our mission is to reach that goal and give a place of honour to women which they will gain on their own right and be considered by her family and society as a person of worth recognition and respect. We have to move with the time, in the present day information Technology has got priority in many aspects and we have added in our project Planning Computer Training for girls.
