A unique initiative to empower women – The first Hunar Student Connect Centre launched in Ahmedabad
With the aim of making Indian women financially self-reliant, Nistha Yogesh started Hunar Online Courses six years ago. A major part of this initiative is the Hunar Student Connect Centre, which was inaugurated today, 30th July, in Ahmedabad.
The first Hunar Student Connect Centre in Ahmedabad has been launched in collaboration with Mrs. Darshana Yadav, a former student of Hunar Online Courses, at her store — M.D. Designer Jewellery Store.
This centre is located at G-3, Saurabh Tower, near Vasna Bus Stand, where housewives and women are taking steps towards self-reliance. The Student Connect Centre will act as an information hub to assist women.
Hunar’s Faculty Head, Ms. Neha Agrawal, shared that through this initiative, women from different states of India are developing their skills in fashion, food, and beauty fields from the comfort of their homes and are also generating a stable income.
Hunar Online Courses offer more than 55 government-certified courses related to fashion, food, and beauty, accessible via the Hunar Online Courses app. The course durations range from three to six months, and women can pursue them at their convenience.
Compared to other institutions, Hunar Online Courses are very affordable. A 3-month course costs only ₹3,000 and a 6-month course can be completed for ₹10,000.
So far, over 50,000 women across India have completed these courses and many have even started their own businesses. Through this initiative, women are earning between ₹60,000 to ₹1,00,000 per month.
Several well-known personalities, including Neeta Lulla and Shilpa Shetty Kundra, are also associated with Hunar Online Courses.
