Workshops on education centre optimisation, job creation, hygiene, sanitation, fruitful utilisation of Govt funds and welfare schemes were also conducted. The main focus of these workshops was right use of technology to leap frog to latest ideas, skill development to generate self-employment and Rural Entrepreneurship to help them become job creators instead of job seekers.
