Usha Sewing Centres Empowering Women In Remote Reaches Of India
From Shilpi Das to Mansoora Banoo, Usha Silai Schools are fostering financial independence among women, transforming them into self-reliant entrepreneurs. Take a look.
Operating in remote regions of the country brings its own set of challenges such as the accessibility of raw materials, and if the machines malfunction, they need to be transported to urban centers for repairs. Usha's assistance aids women in overcoming these challenges, instilling a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Moving from one remote corner to another, the Union Territory of Ladakh is globally celebrated for its expansive and breathtaking landscapes. Situated amid the awe-inspiring scenery of Ladakh, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the Usha Silai School offers sewing training to women from Anganwadi centers in Ladakh, Kargil, and Dras.
Initiatives such as the Usha Silai School are pivotal in empowering women in remote and challenging locations. The Training-cum-Production Centre in Campbell Bay serves as an exemplary illustration of how skill development and entrepreneurship can revolutionise women's lives, granting them economic autonomy and a pathway to elevate their communities.
Usha sewing centres, strategically placed in the farthest reaches of India, are fostering financial independence among women, transforming them into self-reliant entrepreneurs. A key success factor in this initiative is the women's ability to train others similar to themselves, amplifying the ripple effect of positive change. This profound metamorphosis stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment and resolve of both Usha and these women to bring about meaningful impact.

Kushalta Ke Kadam, an initiative by USHA Silai School and NDTV has entered its eighth season. The aim is to empower more women across rural India by teaching them sewing skills and helping them open new doors of opportunities for themselves. The initiative encourages rural women to become financially independent and entrepreneurs by taking up sewing and training others in their respective communities.
Since 2011, the USHA Silai School initiative has trained more than 12 lakh rural women through over 33,000 Silai schools, spanning over 20,751 villages across India.
The women earn Rs. 4,000 – 5,000 per month on an average, with the highest recorded monthly earning being Rs. 84,000 in a month. This earning works as a catalyst towards building their self-confidence, reducing gender inequities, and raising their stature within their families and in society at large.
