Himalayan Daughters Rise for Education is a new initiative started by JRCT in 2014. It is an education and empowerment programme which aims to support young girls with their educational goals. The selected girls belong to socially and economically deprived backgrounds and belong to marginalized communities in remote rural areas of Himachal Pradesh. In addition, these young girls are provided with an opportunity to become self-confident, self-assertive and aware of gender equality issues. Presently JRCT is awarding fellowship to 42 girls in three districts of Chamba, Kangra and Sirmour.
