SIDART, with Unicef support, has developed a training program in
the general nursing and tailoring for girls between 16 to 25 years at
the Alwar district (2002-2003). The program was very beneficial for
their socio-economic status as these areas are potentially rich in
employment. Both training are given to thirty girls each and took six

section to develop them as home managers. This course included training
in geriatric care, home keeping, cookery, home nursing, etc. After the
course, the women were getting jobs at nursing homes, old age homes, in
house holds etc. 20 to 30 trainees were provided with the training, and
got periodical exams and tests to maintain and ensure the quality of the
training. SIDART liaised with organizations to facilitate the search
for optimally viable and respectable jobs for the graduated trainees.
SIDART
organized a vocational training to generate income for women and
adolescent girls from economically weaker sections of the society. The
object was to provide these women with a basic computer training to
improve their job qualifications and give them a basis for income
generation. The focus of the project includes both participants from the
urban slum areas of Jaipur and nearby rural areas. The project
envisaged the training of 30 women within a period of 6 months. The
training gives the women a certain financial independence in household
matters and strengthens their position as decision makers in the family.

worker for 30 girls of weaker sections of the society. The training

and general nursing, the trainees received information regarding
personal hygiene, environmental sanitation and self-help groups.
