Craft Training Program for Women
At Samarpit Sewa Sansthan we go by the conviction that real empowerment of the weaker sections of the community can be done by increasing employability of the unemployed and enhancing their skill and knowledge about craft and its business aspects. Such empowerment generates confidence and brings in social equity, status and honour especially for women.
