Testimonial of a beneficiary of SAIL’s
stitching training program

SAIL also focuses on enhancing the
skills and capabilities of the women
living in its peripheral areas through
training and development programs,
empowering them to excel in their
roles. In a recent collaboration
between SAIL’s RSP and SRI Ranchi,
aimed to broaden market demand
for unique bamboo creations of the
local artisan women, such training
was organized. By establishing a
connection with the Odisha Rural
Development and Marketing Society
(ORMAS), the artisans gained access
to wider markets. Their meticulously

crafted bamboo products were
showcased at prestigious events like
the Rath Yatra Exhibition in Puri,
amplifying their visibility and
Unique bamboo creations of local artisan women
economic opportunities.

hope, promising to equip those ladies in need with the skills needed to ensure a secure livelihood. J.

their footing in world with the skills they acquired at this training. Determined to turn their lives
around, Gomathi and Gogulalakshmi embraced the opportunity with open arms. Despite their initial

apprehensions, they threw themselves wholeheartedly into the program, soaking up every bit of
