Mili also advised the NGO to “follow up with the trainees for a period of at least six months, so that the objectives of the training – self-employment and income generation – are met.”
APRB Branch Manager Mita Deb guided the trainees regarding the documents and the checklist to be furnished by the SHG members to apply for bank loans.
YMAC chairman Yomjum Yongam asked the trainees to participate in the programme with dedication, “so that the NGO can facilitate and guide the trainees to avail bank loans after completion of the training programme.”
