The MoU between NIFT Patna and Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited was primarily aimed at empowering Jeevika Didis, who are women associated with self-help groups (SHGs). The collaboration seeks to provide them with specialised training in garment manufacturing, quality control, and machinery operation. Beyond training, the initiative also ensures sustainable livelihood opportunities by linking these women with employment at ABFRL’s upcoming Begusarai unit. By focusing on empowering Jeevika Women, the project aspires to initially benefit around 3.5 lakh women, thereby creating a large-scale impact on women’s economic independence and skill development in Bihar.
