Titan Industries Limited (TIL) will help 16 self-help groups (SHGs) at Hosur, as the giant watchmaker entered into agreement with groups for assembly of metal watchstraps (bracelets) and Tanishq jewellery.
These groups called Meadow (Management of Enterprises and Development of Women) are associated to Myrada, an NGO established in 1968.
Meadow activities, employing 250 women, include works like bracelet link assembly, final assembly, inspection and packing of bracelets and table clocks, silver and gold rope making, precious stone fixing, strapping of watches and clasp fixing of bracelets, informed M C Shivarudrappa, Project Director, Myrada.
These women were trained to be multi-skilled in the Titan factory outlet from six months to three years, to work under different units, including assembling unit, pre-polishing, gold plating and packing unit and dispatch.
Quality controls are ensured through stringent measures and timely production. Around 7,000 watches are packed and dispatched to Titan's factory outlet.
