The Thane Zilla Parishad's initiative to hire local women's self-help groups (SHGs) for stitching school uniforms has generated a turnover of 4 crore rupees. Over 1 lakh uniforms were produced for 68,000 students across 1,328 schools, with women receiving 300 rupees per uniform. This project has empowered hundreds of rural women in tehsils like Ambernath, Kalyan, and Shahapur, providing them with a steady source of income and boosting the local economy. https://www.loksatta.com/thane/thane-zp-school-uniform-women-self-help-groups-employment-generation-amy-95-5978262/ #creator program
