Quantitative Evaluation Of The Impact Of Induced Skill Enhancement Training On Zari-Zardozi Craftsmanship And Organizational Development Among Women Entrepreneurs In Bareilly District

Abstract

The study examines the impact of skill enhancement training on women entrepreneurs engaged in zari-zardozi craftsmanship in Bareilly district. The region is renowned for its traditional embroidery art, but challenges such as lack of modern techniques and organizational skills often hinder the growth of these women artisans. This research explores how targeted training programs contribute to improving the craftsmanship quality, innovation, and market competitiveness, while also fostering organizational development. The findings reveal that skill enhancement not only uplifts the economic status of women entrepreneurs but also promotes sustainable business practices, increases income, and strengthens their overall role in the local economy. This study investigates the factors influencing the effectiveness of an induction program by analyzing key predictors such as objectives, nature, method, Handicraft Business-organization procedures, and artisan-skills obtained. The overall model is statistically significant, as indicated by the low p-values (Sig = 0.000) for all predictors. The analysis reveals that each predictor has a moderate to strong positive relationship with program effectiveness, with R values ranging from 0.498 to 0.712. Positive coefficients for all predictors, ranging from 0.494 to 0.739, suggest that improvements in these areas contribute to enhanced program outcomes. Additionally, the relatively low standard errors indicate a precise estimation of the relationships between the variables, providing strong support for the model's validity. The findings underscore the importance of these factors in the successful design and implementation of induction programs.
