Self reliance training program From March 1996 till June 2001 the IDF organised Self reliance training program for 298 selected poor women candidates in Bangalore slums. Each class consisted of 10 members. the period for training was 2 months. All materials necessary for dress-making and screen-printing were provided. a monthly stipend of Rs.200/- to dress makers and course-stipend of Rs.100/- to the screen printers was paid. Recently a survey was conducted among 182 candidates of the dress making groups. Of them 65 are already employed with independent earning of Rs.1000 to 2000 p.m. 29 are self-employed. The rest are either married and gone away, shifted residence or staying idle. 2 candidates were given individual sewing machines by IDF and one by the Lions Club. Another important aspect of this training was: every Saturday some specialists were invited to speak to the trainees on various socio-political-economic issues facing the country. On 24th July 2001 the honourable Mayor of Bangalore, Smt.Prema Cariappa, met with 150 of these women.
