Development Promotion Group's (DPG) vision to eradicate poverty by empowering peoples' institutions to undertake need-based interventions met Germany's aim of development policy. That is why Germany had decided to be the donor partner, said German Consulate General in Chennai, Hans B. Sauerteig on Thursday.
Taking part in the valedictory function of Seventh Women's meet organised by DPG, Chennai, he said that the German Consulate highly valued the activities of DPG and offered its help since 1986. DPG Chief Executive Officer R. Bhakther Solomon said that the Chennai outfit was established with a mission to empower women. In the last 10 years, 3,737 women SHGs were formed with 55,000 members.
Mr. Sauerteig distributed prizes to the participants of fancy dress competition and drawing competition and to Self-Help Group members.
