From domestic worker to successful boutique owner in just 6 months through Astitva training.


Launched in 2009 by Navratan Foundations, Astitva is our flagship initiative dedicated to breaking this cycle. We reach out to marginalized women in villages, slums, and low-income communities across Delhi/NCR, providing them with free vocational training in tailoring and stitching — transforming them from dependent homemakers to confident, financially independent earners.

Astitva is dedicated to uplifting underprivileged women by providing vocational training in tailoring and related skills, enabling financial independence and self-reliance since 2009.
