Pooja Sharma, a Sewing Machine Operator works with Orient Fashion,earning Rs. 15,000/month
“As a Class 10 pass out, I had few job opportunities available for me,till I enrolled for the Sewing Machine Operator course at PMKK South Delhi. The entrance exam not only checked my physical ability, but also coordination of the body with the mind, as the industry demands the same. I completed the 45 day course and learnt sewing alongwith soft skills, IT, and English language. I work with Orient Fashion, and
earn Rs. 15,000/month, but more than that the prospects of growing in my job because of the skills training, gives me immense confidence”
