Two gentlemen Arun and Anil from the Ministry of MSME distributed certificates to 25 women and girls . DCVS, an NGO worked to uplift marginalised women and girls, empowering women through skill development.

Virender Punj, ACP Vigilance of Delhi Police, praised these mothers for their courage and vision, focusing on government’s initiatives to empower women through skill training and financial support.
