Success Stories: Helping Women Through Skill Development
One inspiring story is Veerayi V, a 39-year-old mother of two, who completed the tailoring course at the Avaniyapuram center. After losing her husband ten years ago, she worked as an agricultural laborer but faced money problems because farm work is seasonal. The 45-day training under the Vettri Nichayam scheme gave her the confidence and skills to stitch dresses for men and women. She plans to work from home and support her family financially. Stories like hers show how the scheme is changing lives for women with limited opportunities, helping them become independent and confident.
