Earning name from this project
Navya these days, is the founder of Project Naveli, an NGO that aims to promote gender equality by providing women access to resources and opportunities that will lead to economic and social empowerment.
Is household responsibility only for women?
Navya Nanda Naveli further said, ‘I think, in those houses where people live in big families or joint families, how to run the house, or how to serve the guest, things are taken care of. The responsibility is always given to the daughter or the women of the house. I have never seen so much responsibility on the son of the house. It makes women feel that it is our responsibility to take care of the house.
Mama is proud of Navya
