The ceremony took place on Thursday, with the trainees receiving their certificates. Neelima Divi, the director, stated that skill training empowers women to become self-reliant and contribute economically to their families. She encouraged the women to utilize their abilities and participate in the country’s development. Divi’s Laboratories plans to continue supporting women in nearby villages through further training opportunities to enhance their economic well-being.\n\nThe general manager, Y.S. Koteswara Rao, highlighted that the course would be beneficial for women interested in fabric designing, tailoring, and crafts.
