BCC focuses on skill development among women and motivates them. With the help and support of BCC, women have gained foothold by learning cutting and stitching operations. The woman of Baranpura said that after love marriage, she was looking for work in other’s house to help her husband, but could not find work. Later, he learned sewing from the institute and bought the machine in installments.

By doing sewing work, I help my husband financially. While another woman said that my husband was not helping financially and was not paying the son’s fees either. Hence took training in sewing from this institute. Now I earn good income by doing sewing work and pay my son’s fees.
