As part of the Maharashtra Government-recognised rehabilitation plan for the surrendered Naxals [Left Wing extremists, LWEs], 12 such women were given training in making pickle, papad and floor cleaners, reports India Today on November 21. Jaanki Surendra Narute (31), a tribal woman living in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra, was a Naxalite until 2012, when she surrendered before the Police and vowed to live a life in the mainstream. Another such tribal woman, Saguna Sainath (33), surrendered before the Security Forces (SFs) in 2014. She, too, believes that the Police have helped her find a purpose in life. Jaanki and Saguna are among the 12 women who have recently turned entrepreneurs after receiving training with the help of the Maharashtra Government. As part of the State-recognised rehabilitation plan for the surrendered Naxals, 12 such women were given training in making pickle, papad and floor cleaners, and this training was provided at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Rural Industrialisation in Wardha District. "These twelve surrendered Naxal women were trained in Wardha. We will assist them for some time. We will help them in branding and marketing as well. Not in terms of promoting a product, but in terms of rehabilitating these surrendered women," Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police (SP), Ankit Goyal said.
