A new free sewing facility has been inaugurated at Gurudwara Attari Sahib in Amritsar, aiming to provide skill training and livelihood support to the local community.
Gurudwara Attari Sahib in Amritsar has opened a free sewing centre as part of its community outreach programme. The facility, inaugurated this week, is equipped with sewing machines and basic tailoring tools to enable residents to learn and practice garment making without any charge.
The centre targets unemployed youth, homemakers and senior citizens who wish to acquire a marketable skill. Sessions are scheduled throughout the day, and experienced volunteers from the Gurudwara’s volunteer wing provide hands‑on instruction.
Management of the Gurudwara emphasized that the initiative seeks to promote self‑reliance and generate modest income opportunities for families in the surrounding neighbourhood. They also noted that the centre will collaborate with local NGOs to identify participants most in need.
Such skill‑development projects align with broader government efforts to boost vocational training in Punjab, offering a grassroots complement to formal schemes.
The sewing centre is expected to serve hundreds of beneficiaries in its first year, with plans to expand services based on community response.
