The Multi Skill Training Programme is a new initiative by Rajagiri Sahrudaya, in collaboration with CEVA (Cyriac Elias Voluntary Association) and with the support of RCSD (Rajagiri Centre for Skill Development). This project aims to help women and young people develop their employability skills and secure jobs, thereby enabling them to support themselves financially. By equipping participants with essential skills and providing placement opportunities, the program fosters economic independence and personal growth.
