On the eve of India’s 80th Independence Day, Smt. Charu Singh Ji, Trustee, Kisan Trust, hoisted the National Flag at the Chaudhary Ajit Singh Centre of Excellence for Design and Fashion Technology, Baghpat.
The Independence Day programme brought together trainees, industry representatives, officials and members of the local community to celebrate the spirit of freedom, skill development and economic empowerment.
Following the flag hoisting ceremony, Smt. Charu Singh interacted with the current batch of trainees at the Centre. She appreciated their efforts and encouraged them to apply the skills gained through the Centre to build sustainable careers and contribute to the growth of the apparel and fashion industry.
A key highlight of the programme was the distribution of appointment letters to girls trained at the Centre who have secured employment with M/s. Rajani Handloom, Khekra, Baghpat. The initiative reflects the Centre’s focus on connecting skill development with employment opportunities, particularly for women and youth in the region.

Equipped with sewing machines and the skills acquired during their training, the group members will undertake apparel production and develop livelihood opportunities while contributing to local economic activity.
Speaking during the interaction, Smt. Charu Singh highlighted the importance of skill development in creating opportunities for young people, particularly women, and emphasised that training becomes truly meaningful when it leads to employment, entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihoods.
