The project was launched under the aegis of the Art of Living Foundation, and it has provided vocational training, entrepreneurship, and self-development workshops to more than 8,000 women in India. As part of their training, women are also introduced to programs that promote hygiene and women\u2019s health in rural areas.Sri Sri Women\u2019s Empowerment Program is another initiative on similar lines of VISTA and caters to underprivileged women in rural areas. There are two centers currently operating \u2013 one in rural Tamil Nadu and another in the outskirts of Bangalore.

The project identi\ufb01es skilled craftsmen in the traditional arts from rural areas and connects them with consumers around the world.

These conferences seek to provide a platform for women leaders to share their successes, and inspire one-another to succeed against formidable odds.
