The Museum of Digital Society: A Living Archive of Digital Inclusion
Seema is a woman entrepreneur from Akbarpur, Barabanki, in Uttar Pradesh. She financially supports her family by darning clothes of the local community women, but the stitching clothes went to other women in her community.
With a hope to harness her skills and get proper stitching work she joined Digital Sarthak training program. Digital Sarthak is a program to up-skill women entrepreneurs by building their digital capacity. There she was exposed to a different world, a virtual teacher where she learnt at her pace and interest. Seema takes time out every day to watch tutorial videos on YouTube, her main focus is on to learn stitching techniques women suits.
Seema is more confident today and has received couple of orders other than the usual darning work. She understands that there is a long way to go before she gets established as a full-fledged women dressmaker.
