Results showed that 80% of participants rated the training as very good, and 76% felt well equipped to start their own enterprises. This training programmes enhances confidence, improved technical skills, and created awareness about government schemes such as MSME, PMKY, PM-FME, NABARD and entrepreneurial opportunities.
