The valedictory ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including Shri Santosh Sahu, Regional Manager, Shri P K Ummer Farooq, Chief Manager UTLBC, and Shri Ravi Sankar, Chief Manager, Lead Bank.
During the ceremony, Shri Santosh Sahu congratulated the trainees on completing the course and advised them to utilize the skills they learned to generate income.

Shri Ummer Farooq appreciated the trainees for taking the initiative to acquire new skills and encouraged them to work hard to become self-sufficient. Shri Ravi Sankar also praised the trainees for learning a skill that is in high demand, such as women’s tailoring.
The ceremony concluded with the distribution of certificates to the trainees by the dignitaries present. The Director of RSETI, C Raj, proposed a vote of thanks to mark the end of the function. The successful completion of the course is a significant achievement for the trainees, who can now use their newfound skills to start their own businesses or seek employment in the tailoring industry. The support and guidance provided by the RSETI and the dignitaries present will undoubtedly help the trainees to become economically independent and self-sufficient.
The RSETI’s initiative to provide training in women’s tailoring is a step in the right direction, as it enables women to acquire a marketable skill and become financially independent. The program’s focus on providing loans to trainees who want to start their own ventures is also commendable, as it will help them to overcome financial barriers and achieve their entrepreneurial goals. Overall, the 31-day women’s tailor course is a great example of how RSETI is working to empower women and promote economic development in the region.
