Mrs. A. Rajeswari, Aniyapuram Pudur, Aniyapuram village
On the first day, when I joined the three-month free tailoring training course, I did not know about sewing. At the end of the day, I stitched the various clothes like chudithar, nightie, blouse, and petticoat. I would like to express my special thanks to Trinity College for Women, Namakkal, and RERA, Namakkal.
Mrs. M. Vennila, Chinnapethampatti, Aniyapuram village
As a result of this 3-month training course, I learned that handicrafts are essential for women’s development. This 90-day training programme gives me full satisfaction.
Mrs. R. Jeevitha, NPS Nagar, Aniyapuram village
After sending my husband to work and my children to school, I am going to take up sewing work for our family’s additional income. This 3-month free tailoring course was very helpful to our family. I convey my gratitude to the college and the RERO.
Mrs. E. Manjula, ACT Nagar, Aniyapuram village
Now, tailors charge Rs. 10 to Rs. 15 to stitch a small piece of cloth. A thought arose in my mind about why we should buy a sewing machine at home. This training helped me to accomplish that. I pass on my special thanks to all the organizers.
Mrs. S. Hemalatha, Coordinator of UBA, Trinity College for Women, Namakkal proposed the vote of thanks.
