Nokia #Smartpur Impact Story - Kashmir

Beneficiary, a mother of three from a low-income household, struggled to support her family as her husband had irregular daily wage work. Through Smartpur’s two-month tailoring and stitching training in collaboration with PMKVY, she gained the skills and confidence to start her own business. After completing the training, she was selected to receive a tailoring machine and materials, enabling her to begin taking local orders and contribute to the family’s income.

Today, beneficiary is now an entrepreneur, earning independently within her family and community. Her journey demonstrates how skill development, follow-up support, and resource access can drive economic independence and emotional empowerment in remote regions.

Smartpur is playing an important role in facilitating the above.
