Hyderabad, April 26: The Telangana government has announced a plan to provide automatic sewing machines to skilled women from backward classes, aiming to promote self-employment.
According to an official statement released on Sunday, the initiative seeks to enhance women’s productivity, expand opportunities in the sewing business, and assist them in becoming self-reliant entrepreneurs.
Backward Classes Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar held a review meeting with Balama Yadevi, the secretary of the Backward Classes Welfare Department, Mallayya Battu, managing director of the Backward Classes Corporation, and other officials regarding the implementation of this scheme.
The minister stated that the government has decided to provide sewing machines to 1,000 women in each assembly constituency at 100% subsidy to create self-employment opportunities for women from weaker sections.
