The Tailoring Industry has proved to be one of the sustainable businesses during such critical times. And the absence of western garment tailoring was urgently felt by the nation. That has led to the establishment of these courses under DSP.
The 4 month long program from December 6, 2021 – April 7, 2022 successfully concluded despite series of lockdown due to the gracious and continued support from the DSP officials. The closing ceremony was graced by honorable Dasho Tshering Wangchuk with encouraging words for the graduating desuups.
During the four-month training – 33 DeSuups were trained out of which 15 in Western Garment and 18 in Traditional Apparel Tailoring.
Western Garment Tailoring- Basic Tailoring, stitching & finishing of 4 pockets pant & shirt, 6 pockets pant & shirt, tracksuit Jacket and resizing the garments.
Traditional Apparel Tailoring- Basic Tailoring, stitching & finishing of Tego, Wonju, Shanja Tego, Full Kira, Half Kira, Hook Kira and Gho. In addition, stitching of Chhoezey Items (Kuthang) were also taught.
At this juncture, the participants are now “Some-body” equipped with skills for the job market. We are confident that many of them will be self-employed by starting their own tailoring shops as they are now job ready. Finally, we would like to pay our humble tribute to His Majesty the King and take the pledge in fulfilling the aspiration of His Majesty in the skilling program of DSP with the highest loyalty and dedication.
