NHSRCL gifted sewing machines to 23 women from Chenpur and Ropda villages in Ahmedabad

Under the Income Restoration Programme for the project affected people,
National High speed Rail Corporation Ltd along with Rural Self Employment
Training Institutes (RSETI) had organised month long ‘Stitching and Tailoring’
courses for the women of Chenpur and Ropda villages in Ahmedabad. These courses
are being designed to instil skill sets in women and to enable them to generate
income.

To make these women self-reliant and independent, 23 sewing machines
were distributed in a function in Ropra village on Friday, where more than 100
project affected persons and their family & friends were also present.
NHSRCL used this opportunity to connect once again with the project affected
families and briefed them about their rights and benefits from Mumbai Ahmedabad
High Speed Rail project.

NHSRCL’s land acquisition process is not limited to payment of
compensation, R&R assistance, but also includes skill development, training
enhancement for income restoration and development of livelihood restoration
and income generation opportunities for the project affected persons. Extensive
engagement is being undertaken to make sure that all PAPs are well informed
about the available options and are given adequate opportunity to participate.

More than 200 trainees have been benefitted from these training
programmes and some of them have already been employed or have started their
own business. A number of similar training programmes including mobile
repairing, beauty parlour, bike repairing, electrician etc. are being carried
out in various villages along the MAHSR Corridor.  

A list of training institutes & training programs in various
districts along the corridor, application form for participating in these
trainings and contact details of the responsible NHSRCL officials are available
