The beautician productivity training program was conducted over a three-month period, targeting women who have been deserted by their husbands, who made up nearly three-fourths of the total trainees and participated in the program with great enthusiasm. The training focused on livelihood development and included skills such as sari draping, facials, eyebrow shaping, hair dressing, and shaving techniques. Following the training, some beneficiaries secured employment in established beauty salons, while others engaged in beautician work from their homes. In addition to vocational training, the program supported self-sustainability through home gardening initiatives. The organization “HOPE” provided vegetable seeds such as brinjal, okra, finger chilies, green chilies, and leafy greens, along with seedlings including coconut and pomegranate. A seminar on home gardening was also conducted to educate beneficiaries on effective gardening practices, promoting long-term food security and income generation.
