LBCT empowers women through skill development, enabling them to make informed decisions and contribute to their families and communities. Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) provide short-term courses, particularly in stitching, for rural women aged 18 to 40, offering NSDC certification and self-employment opportunities. The Trust also supports ARKE, a handicrafts brand run by rural women. ARKE fosters entrepreneurship in weaving, embroidery, and jewellery making, improving livelihoods and promoting economic independence.
