Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia recently opened a modern garment training and production center in Badarwas town, Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh. Developed in partnership with the Adani Group, the project aims to boost industrial growth and employment opportunities in the region.
The initiative focuses on enhancing the local economy through skill development and increased manufacturing capacity. Scindia highlighted the significance of private sector involvement in driving regional progress, citing the Adani Group’s role in fostering economic development.
During the inauguration, Scindia emphasized how collaborations with corporate entities like the Adani Group can spur job creation and infrastructure development, positioning Badarwas as a prominent manufacturing hub. The facility is expected to produce garments, particularly jackets, for both domestic and international markets.
Scindia interacted with women workers involved in stitching and production activities, underscoring the project’s social impact on women’s empowerment. The center, supported by the Adani Group, is set to provide employment opportunities for around 1,800 women, with monthly earnings ranging from Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000.
The Adani-backed facility, spanning 50,000 square feet and currently operating with 160 machines, has significantly increased its production capacity. With plans for expansion to 600 machines, the center aims to empower women by transitioning them from workers to stakeholders in the business within the next three years.
