The Stitching centre (at the Nishkam Head Office in New Delhi) was started in 1985 to bring young widow sisters of 1984 together so that they could earn a livelihood.
Efforts were made to bring work from export houses and those dealing with ready-made garments but the piece rates of items stitched/knitted were quite low. Therefore, Nishkam started its own Production Centre and the goods produced are sold by putting up stalls in Gurdwaras.
