The advanced course in tailoring for community women, which included fashion design, started in June. The first batch of 20 women who completed the beginners’ course last year enrolled in this first course of advanced fashion design, which will have a duration of three months.
In this second stage, they will learn to design new patterns of dresses, blouses, etc., and perfect their cutting and stitching. Upon completion of the course, they will be awarded a certificate from the Government of India, which will come in handy if they wish to start their own business, get a good tailoring job or secure a loan for small scale entrepreneurs.
Asha-Kiran's aim is to strengthen, train and prepare women and to equip them with commercial skills so that they can provide clothing for their families and develop their own economic streams.
