The COVID-19 pandemic caused a shift in how people, the global economy, businesses, social activities, and our very lives function. With limitations on physical movements and gatherings, the virtual world became our refuge. This became the necessity of the moment, and the women of the USHA Silai Schools were no exception. Usha Silai app is now helping women learn the skill of sewing from their homes, while groups on messaging apps and video call apps are helping women stay connected with the trainers.
