Bhubaneswar: Utkal Alumina International Limited (UAIL), a unit of Aditya Birla Group’s project ‘Kaushalya’ has made a phenomenal difference to the lives of more than 150 rural women in the Rayagada district of Odisha in the past five years.
Under this project, women are trained in tailoring and applique making enabling them to earn a livelihood. They are also trained in the cost calculation and production requirements of a tailoring unit. Utkal Alumina has also supported some of these women in securing fabric and other stitching accessories.
