Learning a new skill can open doors — to income, to confidence and to community. Progressive Ponda has been running free hands-on workshops for women across the constituency, each led by experienced trainers.
A Free Pipe Cleaner Craft Workshop at Coperwada saw strong participation from local women. A Fruit & Vegetable Carving Workshop with mentor Cajie Fernandes began on 12th October 2026 at Prabhu Nagar, Ponda.
The year's workshops were celebrated at a Women's Get-Together, which included a Ragi-based Cooking Competition promoting healthy cooking, and a Certificate Distribution Ceremony recognising every woman who completed a training programme.
