The Samarth Scheme has emerged as a beacon of hope for India’s Textile Sector, creating opportunities and empowering communities across the nation. Since its launch in 2017, more than 4.85 lakh individuals have received specialized training under this initiative, opening new doors of livelihood and self-reliance. What makes this transformation even more remarkable is that women form the backbone of the program, with nearly 89 percent of the trained workforce being women.

Samarth is not just about skill development; it is about reshaping rural India into hubs of productivity and empowerment. Through training in sewing, garmenting, and related crafts, the program is helping villages build sustainable livelihoods while creating a strong and skilled workforce.Rural households that once depended only on agriculture now see sewing machines and training centers as instruments of progress, giving women financial independence and confidence.

This growing ecosystem of skill and production is also attracting the attention of major companies. Many industries are now considering setting up operations directly in rural areas, drawn by the availability of a trained workforce and the strong support structure built under Samarth. From skilling to production, villages are no longer just consumers of opportunities but are becoming creators of growth and economic development.

The scheme stands as proof that with the right vision, rural India can power national progress while uplifting women, who remain the true strength of the textile sector.
