On 9th February 2025, two women entrepreneurs from SARVAM achieved a significant milestone by participating in the Aari work competition organised by the Pondicherry Rotary Club. Competing against 100 skilled artisans from various parts of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, these women showcased their talent and hard work on a prestigious platform.
The event was made even more special with certifications provided by the esteemed International Pride World Records. Though they did not secure a winning spot, their efforts were recognised with a consolation medal and a certificate, making it a proud moment for them and their community.
SARVAM has been dedicated to empowering women by providing skill training, yet many of these women had never ventured outside their villages or participated in competitions beyond their local communities. This lack of exposure had often limited their opportunities. However, this event proved to be transformative, instilling confidence and inspiring them to reach greater heights.
For these two entrepreneurs, participating in such a grand event for the first time was not just about competing but about stepping into a world beyond their familiar surroundings. The exposure and recognition they gained will undoubtedly motivate them to continue striving for success, strengthening their journey as entrepreneurs and role models in their communities. This event marks a stepping stone towards broader opportunities and greater self-reliance.
