Last month, DXC Technology India joined hands with The/Nudge Institute to push forward our Economic Inclusion Program in Assam and Meghalaya. This collaboration brings focus to empowering rural communities, particularly women-led households that have historically faced high barriers to sustainable growth. In the recent NITI Aayog SDG Index, both Assam and Meghalaya are noted as aspirant states for SDG 2, with significant exclusion challenges in rural areas. Our work zeroes in on single mother-led households in Meghalaya and some of the most excluded communities in Assam, equipping them with resources to build resilience and a secure path forward. This partnership couldn’t come at a better time as we expand our efforts to reach people in hard-to-access regions. Big appreciation to DXC Technology India for walking this path with us—every step brings us closer to our vision of a resilient India for all. #ImpactfulPartnerships #resilientlivelihoodsforall
