Introduction
India’s true progress lies in the empowerment of its rural women—this belief fuels the vision of Rajesh Shukla, chief strategist behind the Jaggo Nari Federation. With decades of experience in policy, entrepreneurship, and grassroots transformation, Shukla has been instrumental in turning Jaggo Nari into a movement of dignity, leadership, and opportunity.
The Genesis of Jaggo Nari Federation
Born from the need to uplift the often-overlooked rural female population, Jaggo Nari started as a small cooperative in Uttar Pradesh. With Shukla’s strategic mentorship, it evolved into a national movement spanning
- Over 30,000 women members
- 10+ districts
- 500+ micro-enterprises
His involvement began with a simple premise: women don’t need charity—they need a platform.
Rajesh Shukla, Chief Strategist ’s Strategic Blueprint
Shukla's strategy for Jaggo Nari focuses on five pillars:
- Economic Upliftment: Helping women generate income through dairy, organic farming, and textiles.
- Skill Training: Centers established for tailoring, handicrafts, agro-processing, and digital literacy.
- Policy Advocacy: Lobbying for rural credit, land rights, and healthcare.
- Market Access: Direct-to-consumer sales channels, e-commerce integration, and local haats.
- Community Governance: Democratically elected women's councils at the village level.
Transforming Villages, One Woman at a Time
Under Shukla's guidance, Jaggo Nari isn’t just training women—it is creating leaders. Women once confined to household chores are now
