Pune, January 25, 2018: ” Initially when I came to family court for my case I was afraid even I was not in a state to communicate with the counselor and tell my misery. Later I was introduced to the program ‘Swayam Siddha’, joining this program was the turning point of my life. Eventually I started with a training for ‘Beauty Parlor’. In the journey of pursuing the course I met other women whose stories were similar to mine. Through all the motivation and support we have reached that state where we can start our own business.” These are the words said by a sorrowful woman, who has now come to power with confidence by training.
