SaiVenkataNarayana Societyhas consistently worked towards upholding the equivalence of the rights and opportunities available to all Youth and women, encompassing dignity and justice for all.SaiVenkataNarayana Society is reflective of who we are, what we do, where we work and our vision for the future. Gender mainstreaming in our external and internal interventions has been ensured through several measures. To, safeguard the core tenet of SaiVenkataNarayana Society we had incorporated ‘Gender Equity and Diversity’ as the main objective in our performance assessment. Also, a process of accountability mechanism for change was implemented in the organization. A design framework for external intervention in Programmes was conducted at different levels. A workshop for women facilitators in AP was organized to inculcate the core values of SaiVenkataNarayana Societyamong all stakeholders. Also, a widespread focus on gender integration in the Projects we undertake was implemented. An extensive study on gender gap in division of labour and control over resources was conducted to enable a better understanding of the issue at large.

Simultaneously at SaiVenkataNarayana Societywe have kept our focus on training the rural and urban Youth in the various skill development initiatives being implemented by the National and State agencies. Hence we have kept our focus at large in implementing our mainstream projects by giving an opportunity to all the marginalized sections of the society.
