SKILL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME

‘When knowledge and skill meet, expect a masterpiece.’

 

Our Rural women from Katarkhadak village set out on their journey towards imparting skills to women of Khamboli village. They moved one notch higher in their confidence levels by conducting a session on useful, saleable skills for these rural women at the village temple. 

The skills included- fall and beading, jewellery making, lace and embroidery, beauty and make up. More than 170 women availed of this opportunity and will continue to do so throughout the course.

A TRIP TO MUMBAI

‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ We decided to go by this and organized a trip for our aspiring rural entrepreneur girls to Mumbai on 7th September, 2018. A hands-on experience in purchasing beauty products and other raw materials from buyers, learning about bulk purchase, wholesale prices, getting the best at the lowest price, fixing up the selling price, etc. Were the highlights of the 2 day visit to the Mumbai Crawford market. 

We let the girls also take a dip into the enjoyment the city offers by taking them for Mumbai Darshan to Mumbadevi temple, Babulnath temple, Hajj Ali Dargah , Bandra-Worli Sealink, Jehangir Art Gallery, Marine Drive, Lion’s Gate, A to Z, TOI, etc.

After doing SSY workshop, I started following the principle and guideline laid down in SSY. I was also able to give up my bad habits of tabacco chewing etc.

I even did the professional insights program under SSY. There I learnt the ropes of running a business. It gave me the courage to start  my own business. So I started panchgavya chikitsa Kendra, that supplies the five items of desi ( local ) cows, namely, milk, ghee, curd, go-mutra ( cow urine) and cow dung.

I also started a goshala ( cow shed) of desi cow name shri samartha Gosavrdhan. My monthly income from it is 15,000-20,000.

 

My goal is to extend my business further.

 SSY is helping in broadening the knowledge of the students in the fields of English, Maths and Computers since Nov.2017, by sending qualified teachers and instructors to our school for this purpose. In addition, they are helping in improving basic English and General Knowledge of the students. They are also helping in making the concepts clear in Maths and English.

 SSY is holding regular classes for pottery since Nov.2017, for children. Children are always super excited in this class and enjoy a lot in making different items of clay. Pottery strengthens the muscles of the fingers and thus improves handwriting. It also improves concentration in children.

In Advanced SSY classes, children are taught shlokas, prayers, being in gratitude and being respectful to elders.  SSY teachers also create an atmosphere of positive vibrations and possibility thinking.

Children readily imbibe everything taught in these classes. They, in fact, eagerly await these classes.
