Industrial Department launches free tailoring and fashion design training for 5,000 rural women
The state’s Industrial Department has started a scheme providing free tailoring and fashion‑design training along with sewing‑machine distribution to empower 5,000 women in rural areas.
The Industrial Department of the state announced the launch of a new scheme aimed at the economic empowerment of rural women, offering free training in tailoring and fashion designing and providing sewing machines at no cost.
The initiative targets 5,000 women from various villages, with training centres set up across the state. Participants will receive hands‑on instruction in tailoring and fashion design, and each trainee will be allocated a sewing machine upon completion of the course.
Officials say the programme is expected to create livelihood opportunities, increase household incomes and promote self‑reliance among women. The department will monitor progress and may consider expanding the scheme based on its impact.
The scheme aligns with broader government efforts to boost skill development and women’s entrepreneurship in rural areas.
