Kohima, August 3 (MExN): The Department of Employment, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (ESD&E), Kohima organised a culmination programme on skill development for rural women at Council Hall, Zubza, Kohima on August 2.
A DIPR report stated here that Joint Director of ESD&E, Zubemo Tsanglao, highlighted that the training centres are located in Kohima and Dimapur, recognising that many people cannot afford to travel for training. By bringing the training to the villages, the government ensures broader access and inclusivity. He noted that the training programme has previously covered essential trades such as construction, plumbing, and wiring. This latest phase focused specifically on tailoring, a skill set designed to empower women.
He expressed gratitude for the participation of women in the programme and encouraged them to utilise the tailoring kits provided by the government. “These kits are intended to help participants earn a livelihood, support their communities, and transfer their skills to the younger generation,” he added.
Tsanglao mentioned that the department plans to maintain close contact with the villages, monitor the implementation of the skills learned and the economic benefits achieved. He said “the department will report these findings to the government and, based on the success and satisfaction derived from these reports, there is a possibility of further assistance and expansion of the program in the future.”
The programme featured a sharing session by the trainer, who expressed gratitude for the opportunity to train others and share knowledge, contributing to making women skilful, independent, and empowered to achieve their potential. A trainee shared her training experience on behalf of all the trainees present, thanking the department for the opportunity.
The event concluded with the distribution of certificates and toolkits to all the trainees. The programme ended with a vote of thanks by the Chairman of Sechü Zubza, Khriengulie Kuotsu.
