Many uneducated, as well as educated girls, come here for training. It's been around 4-5 months since they started and they are doing so well here as well as at their home.""I firmly believe girls should be independent. There are not many jobs here and we face a lot of difficulties, but handicrafts have the potential to grow and will provide employment to these girls," she added.The project reaches out to the girls and women of far-flung villages and trains them in the art of Tailoring cribble work and tilla work under professional trainers. The project offers wide exposure for the students, as their work is showcased at major events and programmes all across the Nation."I joined here for training three months back. I was unemployed and sitting idle at home when I came to know that with the efforts of the Indian army, training is being provided to girls. I got a means of employment and I can even work at my home independently now. I am really thankful to the Indian Army for this opportunity," said Saima Bano, a trainee.The regular interaction with dignitaries and achievers in the field results in boosting their confidence to a new high. The students, as part of the project, are also provided with management training, with a vision to empower them towards self-employment.The aim of the training centre is to create a sustainable skill development programme which will facilitate employment to Kashmiri girls in various industries and provide a platform for self-employment to the girls of Kashmir. After learning this, they can start their own ventures and earn their livelihood. Kashmiri girls have hailed this step taken by the Indian Army and hope that more such centres will be established so that girls in far-flung areas of Kashmir valley get the benefit.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
