RANN set up its first vocational skill training center to make women self-sufficient and confident. The very first purpose of basic tailoring skills is to enable women to work. They can continue in their traditional role as homemaker and yet earn. Tailoring is something which women can immediately start right from their homes upon completion of their course. At PANKH centre interested women will be trained in tailoring and designing skills. The course duration will be 4 months for basic cutting & sewing. Later the participants can progress to the next level, which is training in detailed art & creativity.

Goal of the project
