In a significant step towards women empowerment, the Rotary Club of Jamshedpur Steel City recently donated six sewing machines, sanctioned as a district grant for the year 2022-23. The generous contribution is aimed at providing self-reliance to deserving individuals and fostering a spirit of independence within the community.
Expressing gratitude for the donation, the Rotary Club acknowledges the instrumental role played by Sanjeev Thakur in making this initiative possible. The six sewing machines were distributed to three females from Chakulia division and three females from Bahragoda division.
The recipients from Chakulia division include Deepali from Godpada, Nikita Das from Jamua Panchayat Harmon, and Nasima Parveen from Muslim Basti. From Bahragoda division, the beneficiaries are Putul Mandal from Rajlabandh Panchayat Patbeda, Seuli Nayak, and Binapani Bera from Khandamauda.
All these women had undergone sewing training, demonstrating their commitment to skill development. However, their financial constraints hindered them from acquiring sewing machines, a crucial tool for turning their skills into a sustainable livelihood.
The identification of these deserving beneficiaries was facilitated by the efforts of politician Kunal Sarangi and Amish Mehta. Sarangi, recognizing the importance of women empowerment, generously donated the sewing machines, thereby enabling these individuals to break free from the constraints of financial limitations.
With this empowering gesture, these women are now equipped to be self-reliant, fulfill their needs, and attain financial independence. The initiative aligns with the Rotary Club's commitment to the principle of "Service above Self," aiming to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need and contributing to the larger goal of community development.
