PROJECT REPORT

Project 40

On Independence day we tried to showcase the role of vocational centres established by IWC of Shimla for women empowerment and skill development .

The Vocational Centre on the Mall was established in the year 1972 under the Presidentship of Mrs. Meera Sood ji. It has been running successfully for the last 40 years. It has experienced staff who work under the most able guidance and support of Past IIWPBD Mrs. Renu Baljee ji. There are two more centres run by our club at Bal Ashram near Kamla Nehru Hospital and at Dhalli, respective. There are mainly two Diploma courses available at the centres namely Sewing and Beautician.
The student strength at all the centres together is around 100 in the sewing course and 80 in beautician course. The students attend classes for a period of 12 months and towards the end take exams in order to acquire the professional Diploma.

Our vocational centres aim at stimulating employment opportunities among women of various socio-economic levels and different age groups. These centres give admissions to women and girl students from within the vicinity of Shimla as well as far off areas. Thus, enabling both urban and rural women to strengthen their socio-economic status and climbing the ladder of gender equality.

The purpose of the project was to highlight and publicize the courses provided at our vocational centres and to provide information to the general public with the help of Print, electronic and social media. This Project will help us to increase the admissions at these centres so that our club keeps working towards achieving it’s goal of promoting Women Empowerment and women Entrepreneurship.
