Army-Supported Cooperative Empowers 140 Women in Kupwara Through Flag Handcrafting
The Indian Army has supported 140 women in Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir, by establishing the Flag Women of Kupwara (FLWOK), a cooperative society producing hand-stitched tricolour flags and Kashmiri embroidered linen. Since April 2022, FLWOK has delivered over 4,500 flags for national campaigns and gained recognition from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The initiative promotes women's economic empowerment through skill development centres and listing on the Government e-Marketplace, enhancing livelihood opportunities near the Line of Control.
