Training programs are being organised for making instant snacks, curry powder, imitation jewellery,gardening and organic manure making. They also conduct training programs for nursing and paramedical job opportunities.
Women have been trained on paper bag making and beautifully designed hand made quilts which ensures a constant source of income. Now hand made quilts have entered the UAE market which is the biggest achievement of the Foundation, Dr Shinde said.
