| Vocational Training |

The GRC is imparting vocational training in three areas, handicrafts, cutting & tailoring and beauty culture. The approach is to go beyond skill building. The vocational training must translate into economic empowerment. The strategy being employed is to train and empower women with business management skills and make them employable. So far over 1000 women and girls have benefited from
these trainings. |
|
| The Centre also helps in developing market linkages and placements. The guiding approach is to be innovative, catalytic and sustainable. The long term vision for this project is to make a conscious effort to breakout of gender stereotype activities. However, all efforts are gradual, with constant community feedback so that the initiatives do not become unsustainable. The choice of vocational training was made completely based on the demand from the community. The trainings have proved to be very popular, and all classes are running to full capacity. |
