The Kerala State Women’s Development Corporation Ltd. (KSWDC) was incorporated on 22nd February, 1988 with the aim of expanding economic and social opportunities for the women of the State, especially those belonging to the marginalized and downtrodden sections of society.The prime objective of the Corporation is the empowerment of women by helping them overcome the constraints and challenges that hamper their growth and advancement. KSWDC seeks to bring women to the frontline of societal development.

The helping hand of the Corporation has transformed the lives of many women and readied them to meet the challenges of life. The success stories of the many beneficiaries of KSWDC are a perfect testimonial of the Corporation’s commitment towards achieving an egalitarian society based on unbiased norms and values. KSWDC invests in the holistic development of women and our gender awareness programmes, career grooming services, and vocational training facilities seek to address women’s needs and concerns, and also equip them with skills and attributes to handle the resources and opportunities available to them.

KSWDC has disbursed 658.57 Crores among 42,469 beneficiaries so far. Many job oriented training and development programs have enabled girls from BPL families to find suitable jobs. Loan disbursement programmes for women entrepreneurs, Finishing School to attune young girls with corporate work scenarios, and Gender Awareness Programmes to reach out to hitherto ignored sectors also form part of our activities.
