India’s largest clothing export business, Shahi Exports, and the Apparel, Made-Ups, and Home Furnishing Sector Skill Council (AMHSSC) recently held a skill training program for women.
As per a Textile Value Chain report, the program aimed to uplift economically backward women by training them as sewing machine operators and self-employed tailors.
The program was sponsored by Haldiram Snacks, one of India’s most renowned snack and sweets companies.
Shahi Exports has launched a CSR program to provide employable skills to Indian women. The company aims to make these women a bigger part of the skilling eco-system and to help them secure employment. The Government of India has been proactively encouraging CSR-funded skill development activities to promote skilling, reskilling and upskilling on a massive scale.
India’s biggest apparel exporter, Shahi Exports produces women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, as well as home furnishings, and has a client list to be reckoned with, including Gap Inc., Walmart, H&M, JCPenny, PVH, and Target among others.
