Skill-based credit courses by students for students in SNDT
Pune: SNDT College of Home Science has started one-credit courses by students for students on makeup, hairdressing, classical dance, and others to promote additional skills and to give them a platform to monetise these skills. Siddhi Kamble, a third-year student pursuing a bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics, is also a freelance professional makeup artist, hairdresser, and draper. In January 2025, she offered a 30-hour credit course on basic self-makeup, which was attended by 60 students. Kamble said, "These jobs are always in demand, and one can earn a decent amount. A saree or dupatta draping may sound ordinary, but it is a good source of income. Once I complete my bachelor's and master's, I will integrate my education and skills. Bridal or groom packages require people who can advise the bride or groom on what to eat, what to wear, makeup. It has good scope especially in this busy world." Siddhi Kawade, 19, a third-year undergraduate student of the interior space designing course, will offer a one-credit course to students next year. "By the time I applied, the credit courses were full. I was supposed to give a credit course in basic hairstyling. I learnt it as a hobby, but when people came to know about it, they approached me, and it became a side profession. While I plan to do a master's in interior design and work in that field, I will continue hairstyling as and when time permits. The flexibility such jobs offer makes it lucrative," Kawade added. Tanishka Kolapkar, 19, is pursuing an undergraduate course in human development from SNDT while pursuing a BA in Bharatnatyam course from Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth. Her credit course on the basics of Bharatnatyam is in the planning stage. "I completed six years of training in Bharatnatyam. My idea is to give girls in my college a glimpse of what it is to be aware of a cultural heritage of India. Many did not have an opportunity to learn as a child but this course will give them an idea and encourage them to pursue it," she said. Building Talent Single credit added to academic credit bank After the course, students can pursue a diploma in makeup or hairdressing and work professionally If not, once someone knows the basics, they can also build on that via online tutorials Centre for Holistic Education, Training and Novel Advancement is the platform at SNDT Women's University through which skill-based courses are offered quote SNDT has more than 250 such courses where students instead of being passive recipients, come forward as creators, trainers, and entrepreneurs.
