USHA Is Partnering With Government And Private Bodies To Empower India's Rural Women

USHA is building a skilled female workforce by partnering with government bodies. Have a look at how these collaborations are offering a fresh ray of hope to women in remote areas of India

USHA has collaborated with the Meghalaya State Rural Livelihoods Society, or MSRLS, to set up training centres across different regions of Meghalaya. These women have gathered to learn a skill they have very limited knowledge of, but that doesn't discourage them.

In Mairang, a new training cum production centre has been inaugurated, where master trainer Rumpi is teaching women the basics of sewing.

The women are given a piece of cloth with chalk markings so that they can perfect the skill of sewing in a straight line.

The first goal of this training is to teach women how to sew in a straight line, and once the women complete their training, they will be making cloth bags and contributing to the environment in their own small way.

Miles away from Meghalaya, another training cum production centre has been set up in a railway colony in Jaipur. For this initiative, USHA has joined hands with the North Western Railway Women Welfare Organisation (NWRWWO).

Once the basic training is over, the women will then be qualified to take the advanced training, which will open new avenues for them. With this training cum production centre, USHA and NWRWWO have given women a new skill and a new hope.

The USHA Silai Schools have shown what collaborative power can do for the lives of women in the remotest part of the country. One such collaboration comes from Odisha, and is with the Rourkela Steel Plant to teach sewing to economically backward tribal women.

The Rourkela Steel Plant has so far helped more than 100 women from 40 different villages become self-sufficient. One such woman is Lalita Nayak, who comes from an adivasi community. There were years of struggle, but now the partnership between USHA and Rourkela Steel Plant has given her a fresh outlook on life that will help her move forward.
