Overview
Srijani, a vocational cutting and stitching institute established by the Rotary Club of Sibsagar in 2008 with Rotary District Grant support, empowers women from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families with livelihood skills. Starting with 8 sewing machines and a handful of learners, it has grown to 16 machines, expanding its reach and impact. The institute offers a 4‑month training course in basic cutting and tailoring, conducted by experienced instructors. On completion, participants receive certificates, boosting their employability and confidence. To further support self-reliance, the club has donated 4 sewing machines to outstanding trainees, enabling them to begin home-based tailoring units. Srijani stands as a model of vocational empowerment, community development, and women-led progress—reflecting Rotary’s commitment to service and dignity.
