Kavita's Home, under the stewardship of Kavita Bisht, an acid attack survivor and visually impaired woman, has been established in Kalusiddha village, Ramnagar, by U.S.R. Indu Samiti. Its current initiative involves providing vocational training to local women and girls who visit the facility for two hours daily. Post-lockdown, Kavita's Home aims to extend its services to include residential accommodations and vocational training for victims of acid attacks, sexual harassment, domestic violence, elderly women, and differently-abled adult girls, thereby fostering their rehabilitation and empowerment.
