The programme aims to boost self-employment and foster economic independence for women residing in remote border villages like Shachukul. This initiative is designed to enhance their opportunities for self-sufficiency.
Local participants engaged enthusiastically in the programme, underscoring its beneficial role in promoting community development.
This initiative underscores the Indian Army's dedication not only to maintaining national security but also to empowering local communities and promoting socio-economic growth in border areas.
