Hyderabad, Jan 31 (KNN) Giving major importance to growth of women in Telangana, the state government has started a scheme to train over 3000 women in tailoring.

Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Errabelli Dayakar Rao said that this will provide them with essential skills required for getting jobs at the upcoming Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Sangem Mandal in Warangal district and Mini Textile Park at Kodakandla in Jangaon district.

He said this while inaugurating tailoring classes at Thorrur, further adding that this tailoring scheme is the first-of-its-kind to be taken up in Palakurthi constituency.

This scheme is jointly funded by the Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP) and Stree Nidhi, said the Minister.

The training classes at Thorrur is the third such endeavour, with classes in Palakurthi and Kodakandla preceding this one.

Apart from this, these trained women will also be given all the orders relating to the Government, he said.

Those women who are above the age of 35 will also be trained in the next batch; however they will have to find jobs on their own.  (KNN Bureau)
