Abstract:
Communication skills form
the backbone of women’s empowerment, particularly in rural societies where
social interaction, mobility, and decision-making opportunities are often
limited. Industrial Training Centres (ITCs) have emerged as structured
platforms that equip rural women with employable skills, confidence, and
communication capabilities. This study examines the contribution of ITCs to
communication skill development among rural women in Khargone district. The
research adopts a secondary data approach, drawing insights from government
reports, NSDC documentation, scholarly studies published between 2020 and 2024,
and other authentic sources. The findings indicate that ITC-based communication
skill training enhances women’s confidence, workplace readiness, customer-handling
abilities, self-employment prospects, and participation in economic activities.
The study concludes that structured communication training is as crucial as
technical training and recommends the integration of communication modules
across all ITC programmes.
