Vocational Training to Rural Women :
 
JOYGRAM SOCIAL WELFARE SOCIETY is mandated to target the rural poor women in the programmes it supports. Interventions are limited to rural poor women who represent a special challenge for women education. They are often illiterate or have very low levels of schooling, dispose of limited free time for studies and often lack self- confidence to attend formal training. The vocational training programmes in rural areas that appear most successful in terms of enhancing employability and contributing to the human development of their trainees are those where teaching activities are directly targeted at specific groups. Vocational and skills training need to be comprehensive in nature, thereby focusing on the needs and potential of the trainees, aim for social equity in access and be sustainable in terms of technical, financial and environmental feasibility.
 
JOYGRAM SOCIAL WELFARE SOCIETY trained 20 rural women on Tailoring training at the Society’s Premises, at Joygram, Hasnabad, North 24 Parganas during 2016 – 2017
