The Asangathit Karmakaar Silai Machine Sahayata Yojana is a Chhattisgarh government scheme that supplies sewing machines to registered women workers in the unorganized sector. The scheme aims to promote livelihood opportunities for women tailors, embroiderers and home-based garment workers by providing the basic capital equipment needed to run or grow a micro-enterprise. The program covers women aged between 18 and 50 years who are registered with the state labour or unorganized workers board and who have not earlier received a sewing machine or equivalent assistance from any state scheme.
