This study explores the experiences of women undergoing training in computer embroidery at the Nava Women Empowerment Centre Participants from surrounding villages such asPalvoncha, Jagannadhapuram, Kothagudem, Pandurangapuram, Tekulapalli, and Gangaram engage in both manual and computer-aided embroidery, creating innovative and aesthetically appealing designs that have drawn wide appreciation. The program has proven to be a valuable skill-development initiative, offering women new opportunities for self-reliance and creative expression. This paper examines how these women navigate and overcome social and environmental challenges through computer embroidery, while also documenting their design products and the broader impact on community empowerment.
