Through its Karigari initiative, the organisation offers training to women, enabling them to acquire the skill of crafting eco-friendly newspaper handicrafts.

The organisation's functional skills programmes are designed to equip women with employable abilities, addressing the disparity between their skills and local industry demands. Additionally, the organisation conducts intensive awareness campaigns, fostering self-awareness and instilling values conducive to personal and professional advancement. Through exposure programmes, women gain insights into their fundamental rights, responsibilities, work rights, and how to integrate these insights into their personal and professional lives.
