Rural Women Technology Park

RWTP Logo

The Rural Women Technology Park (RWTP), established in 2015, goes beyond the campus to fulfill KCW's mission to empower the underprivileged in our communities. The RWTP was set up in a land donated by the villagers as a goodwill gesture. Skill training programmes are conducted for rural women with funding from DST for 21 Panchayats. Based upon the socio-economic survey and utilizing local resources, more than ten trades have been identified – Water Purification, Community Nursery, Post-Harvest Technology Based Value Added Products, Multi Millet Biscuits, Banana Fiber Extraction and Value Added Products, Value Added Products (Coir Pot) from Coir Fibre, Value Added Products from Arecanut Leaves (Plates), Bio Briquettes Production and Sanitary Napkin Production, Solar Dehydration, Chocolate Making, Tarrakota Jewel Making, Kitchen Gardening, Hand Art, Tailoring etc. In the year 2023–24, 51 programmes were organized benefiting 2112 people. The RWTP is an effective and successful public-private partnership model (PPP) that can be emulated by others.
