Annapurna Trust Empowers Girls Through Skill Development; Sewing Machines, Laptops and Certificates Distributed to Trainees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15th Session of Free Sewing, Embroidery and Computer Training Centre Marks a New Milestone in Women\u2019s Self-Reliance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varanasi: Taking forward the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, the Kashi Annapurna Annakshetra Trust organised a grand Sewing Machine, Laptop and Certificate Distribution Ceremony 2026 to mark the completion of the 15th session of its Sewing, Embroidery and Computer Training Centre. The programme was held at Arya Mahila Post Graduate College, Chetganj, Varanasi.
The faces of hundreds of trainees lit up with joy as they received essential tools and certificates to help them become self-reliant and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
The programme began with a two-minute silence to express condolences and pray for the peace of the departed soul following the demise of the son of a trustee. The ceremony subsequently commenced with traditional Puranic and Vedic invocations, followed by the ceremonial lighting of the lamp by the chief guest and other dignitaries. Members of the Trust family welcomed and felicitated the guests.
Skill Development of Girls Is True Service to the Nation: Dr. Neelkanth Tiwari
Addressing the gathering, chief guest Dr. Neelkanth Tiwari, MLA from Varanasi South and former Minister of State for Religious Affairs, said, \u201cEmpowering girls with practical skills is the true service to the nation. For the past 15 years, the Kashi Annapurna Trust has been working with dedication to make girls self-reliant. Its efforts are an inspiration for society. The government also stands firmly behind such initiatives.\u201d
Mahant Shankarpuri Ji, in his blessings, said that in Kashi, the city of Goddess Annapurna, sharing knowledge, values and self-reliance alongside food is among the greatest forms of charity. He added that the sewing machines would not merely help the girls stitch clothes but would also help them build a brighter future for their families.
110 Sewing Machines and Laptops Distributed to Meritorious Students
As part of the initiative, 110 sewing machines were distributed free of cost to deserving trainees to promote self-employment and financial independence. Laptops were presented to the two top-performing students, Aditya Kumar and Aanchal Tiwari, in recognition of their achievements. Appreciation certificates were also distributed to 80 students.
The initiative aims to equip young women with practical skills and create opportunities for self-employment, enabling them to contribute to their household income and become financially independent.
Distinguished guests present on the occasion included K. Janardhan Sharma, Administrator of the Trust; Ashish Jindal, Trustee; Prof. Ramnarayan Dwivedi, Principal; Shashikant Dixit; and Rachna Dubey, Principal of Arya Mahila Post Graduate College. They congratulated the trainees and wished them success in their future endeavours.
Chella Annapurna Prasad and Chella Ganesh, Manager of Sringeri Math, Varanasi, were also present at the ceremony, along with a large gathering of eminent citizens, teachers and students.
The programme received special support and cooperation from Kashi Mishra, Pradeep Srivastava, Rakesh Tomar and others.
The ceremony concluded on an inspiring note, reaffirming the Trust\u2019s commitment to women\u2019s empowerment, vocational education and self-reliance through skill development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
