Beautician

With the growing middle classes, there is a demand for the services of beauticians and coiffures. Initially, a group of women in the Nasrala village organized themselves to receive training in these services.  The aim of the project was to provide the women with the skills required to work independently as a beautician.  Ashraya provided support for supplies. The trainees were also provided with kits.  The organizer of the project, Mrs. Parbodh Gupta provided space for the training in her factory premises. The project closed in 2004 after several women from the village had received training. The concept has since been replicated in other locations. Currently, a project on similar lines is running successfully in a poor locality in Jalandhar in the premises of a school.
