CRPF Launches Women’s Sewing Skill Training in Arunachal Pradesh

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has inaugurated a sewing training initiative for women in Arunachal Pradesh. The program is part of the force’s community‑development efforts and seeks to equip participants with basic tailoring techniques that can be turned into income‑generating activities. Training sessions are being conducted at a designated venue in the state, with qualified instructors guiding the participants through practical and theoretical modules. Officials said the scheme aims to empower women, especially from remote areas, by providing them a marketable skill. The CRPF plans to monitor progress and explore possibilities of linking trainees with local cooperatives or market outlets.

The initiative reflects a broader push by security forces to contribute to socio‑economic development in the North‑East, complementing government skill‑development schemes. While details on the number of beneficiaries remain limited, the training is open to women residents of the region who express interest.

Stakeholders hope that the sewing program will not only improve household incomes but also foster greater community engagement with the CRPF’s outreach activities.
