Tailoring & Embroidery Training Programme - Nizamuddinrenewal

The training centre for tailoring and embroidery in the Basti has been functional since May 2008. It imparts basic and/or advanced training in traditional hand embroidery (aari & zardozi), machine embroidery and tailoring. As of now, the centre has trained or upgraded existing skills of more than 100 adolescents and women from the Basti.

Embroidery and Tailoring courses are now certified by the Jan Shiksha Sansthan (JSS), Ministry of Human Resources, Government of India. A new curriculum is being designed for the certificate courses, to be replicated in other JSS centres across the country.

In addition to skill upgradation, the training module supplements professional course content with functional literacy teaching and life skill education. Through the centre, girl students can enrol in Class 10 and Bachelor of Arts programmes in National Open School and Jamia Milia University respectively.
