Mumbai, October 9, 2026: Vashi Parivaar Foundation, the CSR arm of Vashi Integrated Solutions Ltd, has launched a Tailoring Skills Development Programme for family members of Indian Army personnel at the Vocational Training Centre under the Colaba Army Unit.
The initiative began with an inaugural batch of 30 women trainees, with representatives from the Indian Army, Vashi Parivaar Foundation, and Naigaum Social Service Society—knowledge partner for the programme—present at the launch. The training will run for six months and conclude with a government-recognised examination.
Vocational training for Army families
The programme is designed to provide practical, job-oriented tailoring skills to participating women, aiming to create opportunities for livelihood generation, increased household income, and financial independence. Upon successful completion, registered trainees will receive a passing certificate under the Maharashtra State Vocational Training framework, offering formal recognition of their skills.
Programme structure and certification
The training is structured to accommodate the specific needs of Army families, enabling women to pursue income-generating opportunities alongside family responsibilities and the mobility associated with military service. The initiative is part of Vashi Parivaar Foundation’s broader focus on skill development, women’s empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods.

Shweta Dodeja, Managing Director of Vashi Parivaar Foundation and CSR Head for Vashi Integrated Solutions Ltd, said the Foundation was honoured to implement the programme in partnership with Naigaum Social Service Society and support the families of those serving in the armed forces.
