Study reveals skill-based education as a powerful tool for financial empowerment and social upliftment among women in Hisar's underserved communities.

Summary:
A new research initiative explores how stitching and tailoring training programs are changing the lives of women in low-income communities of Hisar, Haryana. The study showcases how vocational training helps women become financially independent, confident, and key contributors to their families. With compelling real-life case studies, it emphasizes the urgent need for scalable, community-based solutions for women's empowerment.

Body of the Press Release:
Hisar, Haryana - April 10, 2025 - A recent research study has brought to light the positive and lasting impact of tailoring and stitching skill training for women in underserved communities of Hisar, Haryana. Conducted through extensive field visits, interviews, and personal interactions, the study captures how vocational education can be a gateway to economic freedom and improved quality of life for women living in low-income households.

The research documents the journeys of several women who, after completing basic and advanced stitching courses, transformed their lives by starting home-based businesses, working in boutiques, and even aspiring to open their own design studios. What began as a humble effort to support household income has evolved into a platform for social empowerment and self-reliance.

"Women in these communities have the drive and talent-they just need access to the right skills and support," said the study author. "Tailoring centres have become safe spaces for learning, growing, and building dreams."

Among the women profiled are:

Sapna, who overcame family hardship and now earns independently by stitching garments from home.

Khushi, a 12th-grade graduate who aspires to open her own boutique after mastering garment making.

Riya, the youngest participant at 17, who balances boutique work and her education after completing her training.

Mamta, a college student who earns up to ₹9,000 per month through orders received via social media after her training.

The study also highlights how these centres go beyond vocational teaching. They foster personal development, build peer support networks, and promote digital literacy-key tools that enable women to compete in today's evolving economy.

Key Findings:

Participants' monthly income ranges from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000.

Women reported increased self-esteem, decision-making ability, and financial autonomy.

Training provided opportunities for home-based work, reducing barriers to employment.

Social media and digital marketing skills helped expand client reach.

The report strongly advocates for increased CSR investment and government support for localized skill training models. It proposes the replication of such initiatives across other rural regions to promote inclusive, grassroots-level development.

This study serves as a timely reminder of how simple, targeted interventions can generate meaningful change-turning women into entrepreneurs, leaders, and role models in their communities.
