It was a very informative training session. Course content got well covered and also demonstrated. Thanks for such informative and concept-clearing interactive training sessions. The trainers had excellent knowledge and kept the sessions lively. Very well organized from the word go by introducing the concept of backpacks, water bottle to give a feel of a student followed by time bound submissions of projects, book reviews and presentations...Thanks to one and all from Team GIPARD.

I never knew what rights and benefits we could get through the Self-Help Groups. Then, I attended a three days training and understood the role of SHGs and VO, rights and powers of women through this VO. Madam Sarita and all the resource persons explained it beautifully, they were confident and had complete knowledge about the topics. Thank you very much for these trainings which helps us to understand the duties and rights of Women towards ourselves and towards society

The programs are well planned and the feedback from participants has always taken seriously and helped the organizing team to improve and shape future programs over the years. The faculty in Women’s Development has shown great team-work, communication skills and excellent public relationships, which makes me look forward to every session.

GIPARD has provided me full support, to impart training to the trainees, take up intermittent tests by devising test papers, evaluate such test papers and ensure that the participants are fully acquainted with the subject matter as well as the provisions of Rules, as taken up by me, in the training programmes.It is pertinent to add that most of my trainees have been contacting me on certain service matters, wherein I have been attempting to clarify their slightest doubts, which gives me an opportunity to educate them as well as myself.
