Venkata Lakshmi, a homemaker from Yernagudem, has always dreamed of learning sewing, but she faced limited opportunities and lacked access to qualified teachers. With her husband working in agriculture, she resigned herself to the thought that her dream might never come true. However, discovering PARD INDIA became a turning point in her life.

Joining the program under the mentorship of sewing trainer, Durga Bhavani brought about transformative change. The sessions focused not only on acquiring sewing skills but also on fostering a nurturing community and building personal confidence. The program equipped Lakshmi with practical sewing knowledge, helping her master the craft step by step.

What stood out for Lakshmi was the encouragement and support she received throughout her journey. The camaraderie among the group and the approachable nature of her instructor created a positive environment where she could thrive. She learned not only technical skills but also resilience and self-belief.

Today, Lakshmi proudly says, “I can now stand on my own two feet.” This newfound independence has imbued her life with meaning and purpose. The ability to contribute to her household while pursuing a craft she loves has given her the confidence she had long sought.

She is profoundly grateful to PARD INDIA and M/s Jayam solutions Ltd., for making this transformation possible. The training not only taught her sewing but also opened doors to personal growth and a brighter future. She now looks forward to further honing her skills and exploring new opportunities for generation of income. Her story is a testament to the power of skill development and community support in changing lives. Lakshmi’s journey inspires others in similar situations to pursue their dreams and believe in their potential for growth and independence.
