Following the training, the department plans to establish a textile unit in Tiruvallur to aid them build their own brand, with NIFT providing support in marketing.

The women, hailing from Ponneri, Ellapuram and Kadambathur in Tiruvallur district, have already received tailoring training under the Mahalir Thittam scheme.

While some have worked as daily wage labourers in garment factories, others remain unemployed.
