NIFD Global Director Neetika, along with trainer Alka and four students, provided expert training, while Ashayen Center Director Meera Noronhaji facilitated the program. The initiative saw enthusiastic participation from 21 FLO members, including Namrata Garg, Niti Tandon, Gauri Agarwal, Mani Agarwal, and others, with special thanks to FLO member and Ashayen Executive Member Bharti Garg for her instrumental role.

The program is set to run twice a week for two months, enhancing teaching capabilities and potentially creating livelihood opportunities for students.

This collaboration with NIFD Global has empowered educators with valuable skills, promoting sustainable practices and supporting socio-economic development within the community.
