Hyderabad, March.3 (Md Muzaffer Ali Spl correspondent PMI): ‘SHE FOR HER’ program for college girls to act as volunteers on women’s empowerment was conducted as a part of International Women’s Day celebrations.

They can help other students with the information of how they can reach police. SHE for HER volunteers are supporting SHE TEAMS for the women safety and actively responding to problems as she for her and taking help from Rachakonda Police through dedicated whatsapp groups.
