Clothing is one of the basic needs of human beings and people are increasingly fashion conscious. With changes in fashion and style, the cutting and stitching of garments also change. Keeping in view the market demand and changes in fashion design and technology, courses on cutting, tailoring and dress making have been suitably devised within the structure of non formal education. The beneficiaries are neo-literates and people with low education levels. Besides, in India, girls/women are expected to know tailoring to fulfil basic stitching requirements at home. Stitching of garments at home is a money saving device for lower middle income groups. Tailoring is also a vocation for self employment.

With the tailoring course offered at PVTRI, trainees will get a diploma in tailoring or Silai. This course is perfect for both those who are new to tailoring or want to brush up on their skills. Trainees will learn about the different types of fabrics, how to measure a person for specific items of clothing, and the basics of machine and hand sewing. Both theory and practice are integrated into the course. The certificate course can lead to an advanced tailoring course that will help the trainees take their skills to the next level.
