Assam Rifles has handed over sewing machines to tribal communities in Tripura, aiming to enhance income opportunities and self‑reliance.
Assam Rifles officers recently visited several tribal villages in Tripura to distribute sewing machines to local women and youth. The initiative is part of a broader effort to create sustainable livelihood options for marginalized communities in the state.
The machines, equipped with basic repair kits, are expected to enable villagers to produce garments and accessories for local markets. Officials said the project will also provide training sessions on machine maintenance and basic tailoring skills.
Local leaders welcomed the gesture, noting that increased income from sewing could reduce migration to urban areas. The distribution event was covered by regional media and highlighted as a model for rural development.
Assam Rifles will monitor the impact of the program over the next year and may expand the initiative to other districts if successful.
