In Kerala, the economic consequences and loss of livelihood after the floods of 2018 were catastrophic.

However, women in India have found a footing in this crestfallen condition and have come up with entrepreneurial ideas.

A group of six women have opened a water sports and entertainment park at Payattupakka in Neelamperoor, Kerala.

The park is situated on a large waterlogged paddy polder and offers visitors kayaking, pedal boat, dinghy, and coracle services.

The water sports park and related activities have been funded under the Rebuild Kerala Initiative-Entrepreneurship Development Programme (RKI-EDP).

Another all-women team has opened a health tourism clinic at Pulinkunnu.

Similarly, other groups have taken up roles as tourism providers and have opened cafeterias and restaurants in different parts of the region.

These activities have helped in the economic development of the region.
