A project was started on tailoring, retail trade, hospitality and office management at Mayong and Loharghat in the districts of Morigaon and Kamrup(R). The total no. of participants was 30 and most of the participants were women. The women seemed more interested in tailoring but they actively took part in other activities as well.

The Pragoti educational trust gave training on skill development and local teachers were selected for giving training on tailoring. The project was a very successful one. The women at the training were mostly housewives.

They expressed their sense of confidence on the completion of the programme that from then, they would also be able to contribute a part to the family income by doing these activities on their own. Moreover some of the participants got job in Cloud Valley Resort, Kerala along with extra training opportunities, while some underwent further training at Pragati, Guwahati and later on got engaged there.
