“Shahzada Bano, a 10+2 qualified individual, discovered an exciting opportunity through a friend who participated in a campaign organized by Srinagar Carpet Training & Marketing Center Pvt. Ltd. The government of India, under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), had launched a special Pilot Project for Namda craft makers, providing free and comprehensive training. Intrigued by the prospects, Shahzada made the decision to join the training program. This training, Shahzada notes, was a departure from traditional educational approaches, offering a unique and immersive learning experience that equipped her with valuable skills for a career in Namda craft making.”
