USHA Is Partnering With Government Bodies To Empower India's Rural Women

USHA is known for building partnerships between NGOs and corporations and offering a fresh ray of hope to women in remote areas of India. Now, the organisation has partnered with various government bodies to build a skilled female workforce

  • USHA strives to elevate the socio-economic status of rural women in India by creating entrepreneurship opportunities through promising partnerships and collaborative efforts.
  • Shyam Metalics, one of the leading integrated metal producing companies in the country, has partnered with USHA to empower women in Jamuria, West Bengal. The organisation has tied up with USHA International to start a training cum production centre at Jamuria.
  • The centre, which is jointly run by USHA International and the Shyam Metalics Foundation, aims to make women more empowered, confident, and resilient.
  • Not only are the rural poor being helped, but the Jamuria training and cum production centre is also assisting many tribal women in earning a living. Sushma Dhangar, a 24-year-old resident of Dhasna village, is one such woman.
  • Miles away from Jamuria, USHA International conducted a 15-day Silai Training Programme, in Radhanpur, Gujarat. The Bhansali Trust Foundation and USHA have joined hands for the upliftment of the women undertaking the training. One of the many women working for the Bhansali Trust is Darji Hansaben Pravinbhai. The 62-year-old has proven that there is no age limit to learning, as she has learned all aspects of garment construction and takes pride in it.
  • Yet another learner of the Bhansali Trust Foundation is Urmila Ben. Ms. Ben had a disheartening journey, but she has gracefully held the reins of her future. She is eagerly learning to hone her skills.

  • Preeti Devi, Siya Devi, and Neena Devi are three young 19-year-old learners at the USHA Silai School in Alkem Laboratories, who want to make the most of their present to move from a bleak past into a brighter future.
