The slum areas of Mamura Village, Sector 66, and Chaura Village, Sector 12/22 in Noida, are home to a large migrant population primarily from West Bengal, Bihar, Uttaranchal, Orissa, and neighbouring states. These families, living in rented accommodations, primarily rely on low-income occupations. Men are often engaged in daily wage workers in factories, while women work as domestic help and labourers. Similarly, in Bhangel, Phase-2, Noida, a densely populated area with over 60,000 residents, the majority are migrants from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana. Despite their willingness to improve their livelihood, women in these communities face significant barriers to accessing education and vocational skills.
The lack of exposure to modern technologies and industrial skills leaves women unable to secure respectful and sustainable employment. However, there is a strong interest among young women, particularly those who have completed high school, to learn vocational skills such as industrial tailoring and stitching to support their families.
