TAILORING: Women are worst affected when it comes to unemployment and poverty. Without any income of their own, they need to depend on men for anything and everything. If the men are also unemployed, the matter gets worse. Women empowerment through self-reliance and financial independence can be achieved by providing vocational training, through which women can either start up something of their own or take- up a job. ADARSHA(Awareness and Development Actions for Rural & Urban Social Harmonious Association) has set up Sewing Training Center to make women self-sufficient and confident. Stitching garments is one job that remains till end of the mankind. Further, basic tailoring skills enable women to work from home, they can continue in their traditional role as homemaker and yet earn. Tailoring is something which women can immediately start right from their homes upon completion of their course. Interested women are train for embroidery, arts and designing skills as well as tailoring. This year we have conducted training for 300 candidates and also distributed sewing machines with the assistance by MEPMA, AP.
