Jammu, September 25 (HS). In a significant step towards women empowerment, the Indian Army has successfully completed a beautician course at Sanjiot in Poonch aimed at enhancing the skills and livelihood of women in the remote Pir Panjal region. The initiative, part of the Army's broader mission to uplift communities in the region, provided practical training to the participants in various beauty care techniques.
Over several weeks, the program equipped the women with practical skills in applying makeup, skin care, hair styling and other beauty services. Beyond technical training, the course also aimed to foster confidence and entrepreneurship, giving these women the tools to start their own businesses. The beautician course is one of many initiatives undertaken by the Indian Army to support social development in Pir Panjal. Previous efforts included educational programs, health camps and vocational training that are still ongoing, aimed at improving the quality of life of local residents. By focusing on women's empowerment, the Army is contributing to a more inclusive society, where women can actively participate in both the economic and social spheres.
When these women step into the beauty industry, they bring with them not only new skills but also hope for a brighter future for themselves and their communities. The success of this beautician course underlines the transformative power of education and skills development, paving the way for more such initiatives in the region.
