Bhubaneswar: As part of its bid to empower women and make them self-reliant, Aditya Birla Group’s Hindalco’s Hirakud unit in Odisha has launched a host of programmes including tailoring training through Project Preranato local girls in and around its plant periphery.

The Sambalpur-based unit imparts tailoring training under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in areas like Budhakanta, Kenalpada, Ghatipada, Kisanpada, Nuagujatal, Ricksawpara, Gundurpara, Shaktinagar, Christianpara and Hirakud town etc, informs Mr Kailash Pandey the Head of Hindalco-Hirakud Cluster.

Stating that making women self-reliant has always been a thrust area for the group, Pandey said the economic empowerment of women has become a major development priority. “When a woman is empowered, her entire family, especially children, reap the benefits, which also helps increase human development index,” he adds.

Krishna Padhi, the HR Head of Hindalco Hirakud Complex says “Over 578 girls and women have so far benefitted from the training programmes, held in six-month batches. Training classes are currently being held at HirakudTown, Gadamunda, and Budhakanta villages,”. The Budhakanta training centre was inaugurated very recently by Namonarayan Biswal, an influential from the region.

Biswal applauded the efforts of Hindalco for setting up this tailoring centre in their village which will give an opportunity to the unemployed girls and ladies to stand on their feet.

Some women, who have benefitted from Hindalco’s training sessions, have started home-based tailoring centres. Others have benefitted by doing minor alterations on their own. A few like SanjettaOram, Alka Rani Barik and L Santoshin Reddy have now become Trainers.

A school dropout, 26-year-old BharatiBisoi of Jhankarpara says she attended the tailoring training sessions conducted by Hindalco’s CSR team and later formed a self-help group (SHG) – “Sanskruti” – which has received a contract to stitch uniform for a government girls’ high school.
