Our NGO conducted training camps in the remote upper hills of Uttarakhand to the rural women in the villages of Rudraprayag and Augustyamuni.

100 women were given training on making various handicraft items to boost their livelihood opportunities.
Keeping in mind the changing times, the need of the hour is to have basic computer education. Since, computers are becoming an integral part of our daily lives, knowing how to use one is a must these days. The basic objective of this program was to train the youth belonging to the weaker sections of the society who do not have an easy access to computer and thus find it difficult to operate one.
