What began as a single room in Lucknow with five learners has grown into a nationwide movement — one that puts skills, confidence and independence into the hands of women who were told to wait their turn.
Saksham Naari began with a simple observation: talent wasn't the barrier holding women back — access was. In small towns and villages, women who wanted to learn computers, tailoring, or digital skills often had nowhere nearby to start, and even less encouragement to try.
A handful of trainers, one rented room, and a shared belief that every woman deserves the chance to become financially independent — that was enough to begin. Word spread from one learner to the next, and centers followed.
Every milestone below represents thousands of women who chose to bet on themselves.
A single training room opens in Lucknow with five learners and two trainers.
Demand from neighbouring districts leads to the first 10 franchise training centers.
Live classes and recorded courses launch, keeping learners moving through the pandemic.
Saksham Naari certificates gain government recognition and ISO certification.
A nationwide network now stands behind every woman who walks through the door.
These aren't posters on a wall — they shape how every class, center and certificate is delivered.
Every curriculum is designed around real schedules, real households and real constraints — not the other way around.
From metro cities to small towns, online or in person — the same quality of training is never out of reach.
Certificates that carry real recognition, so the skill translates into an actual job or income.
