Skill Development and Income Generating Program

Skill Development and Income Generation Program (SDIGP)
The main thrust of the empowerment activities to women, adolescent girls, youth, disabled, HIV/ AIDS affected, Mentally Ill and leprosy affected persons is to assist them in achieving sustainability through skill trainings and income generation activities.
