The counseling centre is expected to deal with every problem that centers on women in the society.

Though many changes have been made in the dowry system, it still prevails in every part of the state with much relevance. And this brings lots of harm to the young, newly wedded bride. Another real truth behind this is that it is mainly women create this problems.

In each counseling centers, there would be a women counselor and an assistant. Any one can seek their help at any time. The functioning of these counseling centers will be from 9am to7pm.
