“Entrepreneurship and Women Empowerment by Eastern Command AWWA.”

In an endeavor to showcase the skill and potential of its members, Eastern Command AWWA (Army wives welfare organization) set up a stall at the 4-day ‘Banglar Tanter Haat’ exhibition in Kolkata from 23 Sep to 26 Sep 2022. The exhibition provides a platform for local artisians and entrepreneurs to showcase their talent.

Products from all ASTC’s (Army Skill Training Centres)/VTCs (Vocational Training Centres) in Eastern Command were showcased and well appreciated by the guests. Items manufactured by the members such as Naga Jwellery, Block painted bed sheets covers and other handmade artifacts were on display in the stall. Interest shown by the local population was extremely encouraging. The success of the stall was a testament to the budding entrepreneur skill and women’s empowerment being nurtured by ASTCs and VTCs being run by Eastern Command AWWA.
