He states unequivocally that investing in women’s economic empowerment is the key to achieving gender equality, poverty alleviation, and inclusive economic growth.
Capri Global’s CSR initiative goes beyond rhetoric, manifesting in “Sustainable Agriculture Livelihood” projects across 4 states/region, with a vision to empower approximately 40,000 women farmers.
