Srinagar, January 21,2026-In a significant move to empower women across the Valley, the government has launched dedicated skill development programmes aimed at enhancing employability, financial independence, and social participation. These initiatives provide training in various trades and professions while creating job opportunities for women, particularly in remote and underserved areas.
Officials said that countless women have benefited from these programmes, gaining practical skills and entering the workforce to contribute to both family income and community development. The schemes are designed not only to provide economic empowerment but also to enable women to actively participate in nation-building and the overall development of Jammu and Kashmir.
By offering structured training, mentoring, and support, the programmes are helping women overcome traditional barriers, achieve independence, and emerge as key stakeholders in the Valley’s socio-economic growth. Authorities highlighted that such initiatives reinforce the government’s commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment in all spheres of life.
