Vimukti Charitable Trust®
Pothnal in collaboration with Dr Babu Jagjivan Ram Leather development
industry Bangalore. the corporation is well known as LIDKAR, and
organized 60 days of skill development and income generation training
program at vimukti premises. The objective of the training program is to
develop skills in the manufacture of footwear/ leather goods making. The
Leather Artisans in the state are economically most backward and still
engaged in making and selling traditional footwear. They are being
exploited by private dealers and hence they are not getting right price
for their products. Even now many of the artisans are sitting on
roadside without proper shelter and engaged in footwear repair for their
livelihood. Keeping in view the welfare of the SC leather artisans, vimukti selected eligible candidates in pothnal surrounding villages of
Manvi and Sindhnoor Talukas, motivated and organized 60 days skill
development and income generation training program. there was a positive
good response from the stakeholders and attended the 60 days training,
benefited from this program.
