The program was inaugurated by Prof. Gayatree Goswamee, Dean, School of Education in the presence of Guest of honour Prof Abdul Matin and Paul Eketush Momin, Principal, Jorbil Upper Primary School, teachers, students, villagers and others. Speaking at the programme, Prof. Gayatree Goswamee and Prof. Abdul Matin appreciated the initiatives for the upliftment of rural schools and the students who were the beneficiaries. Paul Eketush Momin, Principal of the school has appreciated and congratulated USTM for such initiatives. The Project is Directed by Dr. Saru Joshi, faculty member of the Department of Education, USTM. Dr. Saru Joshi expressed her deep appreciation to Kalpana Roy who has been appointed to teach the students a tailoring course for three months which may further expand depending on demands and outcomes. She also thanked the Mahatma Gandhi National Council for Rural Education, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of education, Government of India for funding the project. The women from the village had shown a keen interest towards the program and asked if they too could take part in this stitching programme. The project aims at providing an opportunity for the students from remote areas to self-sufficient themselves through hands-on skills activities like stitching, basket making, dairy farming etc. Many dropouts’ students from the schools especially in remote areas remain jobless. This kind of hands -on skill development program will give a way for the students who are reluctant to continue their schooling and education for many reasons.
