Usha Silai App Revolutionises The Art Of Sewing With Digital Learning

Women who may have limited access to traditional educational resources are now using smartphones to learn the art of sewing through Usha Silai Mobile App. The women are making the best use of platforms like Google Meet, Zoom and WhatsApp to discuss sewing content and community issues. Take a look!

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the virtual world became our refuge. Many women used messaging and social media apps during COVID-19 to stay connected to their trainers and continue the process of learning.

It was then that Usha launched a mobile app called the Usha Silai App. The App has content on how to sew, various stitching techniques for different garments, and information on the maintenance of sewing machines.

The tutorial videos for the app are created by master trainers from Usha Silai School, providing them with an additional source of income. The trainer performs each step while explaining what they are doing. This includes measuring the cloth according to the garment they are making, cutting the fabric, and stitching. The videos are then dubbed and edited.

The Usha Silai App represents not just empowerment but also development, breaking language barriers in the digital landscape. Available in 12 regional languages, this platform ensures universal access to sewing and tailoring, promoting inclusivity in the learning process. The app's offline mode helps users in India with limited internet accessibility to download content and view it whenever they want.

The app also keeps the user up to date with the latest trends. With regularly updated design content, users can learn new techniques and the latest styles. The app is updated weekly with tips and hacks to enhance the user's creative journey.

Usha is now taking the impact of this technology to another level by offering certifications to women who complete the sewing and tailoring course on the app, thus achieving its mission of making women self-reliant.

Usha has partnered with Common Service Centres (CSCs) to promote skill development and entrepreneurship. CSCs are physical kiosks that aid in providing the government's digital services, to people in rural and remote areas, which lack digital infrastructure.

After obtaining the tailoring certification, the women of Usha Silai School embark on a journey towards financial independence, empowerment, and the ability to provide for their children. It also serves as an inspiration for other women to explore and fulfill their potential.
