From our industries research
Official source ↗Skilled trade covering arc/gas welding, and fabrication of steel gates, grills, staircases, sheds, and structural metal work, either as an independent welder or a small fabrication workshop.
What you should know
- Best suited to
- 1-year DGT/NCVT ITI or 515-hour PMKVY training with no license requirement suits job seekers and self-employed aspirants; the PMEGP/KVIC-financeable workshop model (documented Jewargi, Karnataka case, ~Rs 4.88 lakh total project cost) suits MSME formation and rural entrepreneurs able to access subsidy-linked term loans. This is a physically demanding trade with documented occupational hazards (see typical_risks_summary); no women-specific welding-entrepreneurship programme was located in this search, so women-entrepreneur suitability is PENDING_VERIFICATION rather than assumed.
