A group of women from the nearby slums come together at Rajarajeswarao pet in Vijayawada. They are taught fabric designing and tailoring. it is not just training in the trade but giving a complete knowledge and support till the women stand on their own that is taken care of by Seva Bharathi . These type of Centers are located in rural areas, urban slums and interior tribal areas of Coastal Andhra Pradesh. . Nuthakki villege is the best example of this kind. 7th batch in this centre is presently under progress. This training center has been able to bring light in the lives of the 200 and odd trainees in the previous 6 batches. In these batches about more than 25 of them stand independent and lead a dignified life powered with the training in hand. The women are made aware of the current issues concerning them through discussion and Bhajans.
The trainees are organized to co-ordinate activities of much use to all of them. Women, needy and helpless are motivated, trained in vocational courses like fashion designing, health awareness and house-keeping.
